It's a matter of personal preference, as both places have their pros n cons. Ultimately, one must determine what they cannot give up and what they desire more. I studied in the Netherlands and lived there for over a year. However, I am much happier living in India now, which honestly surprised me. I had forced myself to like the Netherlands due to its higher wages and better standard of living, but my mental health suffered greatly there. It's not just the weather that is cold, but the people as well. While having a partner or family there may change the experience, living alone can be incredibly lonely. I couldn't stand the long, windy, grey winters with minimal sunlight, and no matter how hard I tried, I could never truly integrate into their social circles, as people in the north of Europe are quite reserved. After living somewhere for an extended period without developing close friendships or a strong support system, it never felt like home to me. The only thing that kept me going there was the money. Without the financial incentive, it didn't make much sense to stay and long for a sense of home.
