It's all about putting all in the balance. More money, more safety and security (it almost every aspect of life). On the other side, family and friends left behind.

If you just came: don't think people are different here (anywhere in EU) as in Mexico. You will do new friend here, locals, and for sure other expats. The food, if you search, you can find almost everything. I've been many places (also Mexico) I found China and Japan to be very different than Mexico, but the EU is not that far away. Just chill, enjoy the good, and if at any time it gets too heavy, you can always go back, and have an interesting experience in your CV.

Sorry, I might've explained myself incorrectly.

I am European and I've spent in Mexico only 2 years of my life which is not much.

Anyway I cannot help myself but to disagree with "don't think people are different here (anywhere in EU) as in Mexico".

My experience have been the total opposite: I consider us, Europeans, generally much more distanced and serious. It was definitely easier for me to make friends in Mexico (as an expat with locals) than as a local here with other locals.

Of course that talking about infrastructure, money, security - that's a whole different story.
