Been there, done that.
From Europe, came to the U.S. For flight training.
Ended up back in Europe driving taxi cabs while converting licenses and flying sky-divers Saturdays and Sumdays.
Ended up back in the states, then the Carribbean where I lived on a sailboat in St. Thomas and flew DC-3s and Twin Otters from island to island.
Good life it was and 30 years ago.
Still flying the Caribe, but now on 757/767s.
Get a green card and go to San Juan or St. Thomas.
Bring sunglasses and bathing suit.
