I currently have a private pilot's license in the United States. Am I able to use this license in other countries?
For example, I plan on going to St. Marteen this year and would love to rent a plane and check out the area. I do understand that I will have to do a "checkride" beforehand.

Doesn't seem like I can get an answer about this. Anyone know at least where I could find something like this? Maybe point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

I don't know what Nycfturepilot s talking about re TSA, but the general rule is that the pilots license must be issued or validated by the authority responsible for such, in the aircrafts country of nationality (ie registration).
In other words if the aircraft has US nationality (N registered) you need a license issued OR validated by the FAA, no matter where in the world you fly it. If the aircraft in St Marteen is registered there you will need your FAA license validated by the local authority. Some countries are very relaxed about such things, some are not.
