I agree with AA, however I'm sure I'm not that much different to a lot of people in that I didn't know any other PPL's when I got my licence.
The only people I knew were the instructors, and one or two others who were still training.
And I do agree that you are under added pressure on your first trips, which a passenger. What I did was to go on a route with huge unmistakable turning points, and ones that were very familiar to me as I'd flown over them many times during my training. While they might but boring and unremarkable to see for me, my passenger was on their first trip in a light aircraft, and had never seen the ground from above before, other than from 30,000ft. So it was all new to them. And of course it way much easier for me, which took a lot of pressure off, and made it much more enjoyable.
I still think it was my most enjoyable flight ever. It even beats the Grand Canyon, and that's saying something
