  Good point from Conehead but I would suggest Switzerland, Austria or Germany. The fact that you have travelled to an "exotic" place lends motivation and inspiration, they are easy to get to, these are plenty of anglophones there and the act that its mainland Europe means that there won't be too many cultural surprises

  sign up for lanzarote for your first. its hot, windy, hilly and claims to be the hardest in the world. I'll let you know quite what a bad idea this is after may23 of this year....
