How many hours have you done In england since passing your gst 1.5 years ago?
Ive done over 80h in last 10 months or so and still learning a lot!! I wouldn't tackle europe now, I think you need some more experience before tackling Europe!!!
Just my opinion, but if i were you I would use my money and do some aerobatics or and advanced flying here, you will be better placed for hire abroad after that!
After my 1st year as a licence holder I am having some advanced handling instruction, mainly due to some confidence issues of flying in weather/turblulence but thats another story!!
Being adventurous is a good thing, but being confident and just jumping in and going with low hours/currency is a bad thing IMHO. (NOT SAYING THIS IS YOU!!)
anyways, good luck and maybe try and find a fellow PPL holder and go on a Europe Trip, Thats what I would do if i were in lower england!
