I love Mexico. Can't believe I wasted four years of my life in Europe when Latin America was just next door.
All the dweebs who fantasize about BASED HUNGARY or BASED POLAND or BASED RUSSIA, you should reconsider and head down south.

"B-B-BUT IT'S DANGEROUS!"
You're an American living off an American salary, so you can afford to live with rich Mexicans, take taxis, and have an apartment with a doorman.
The dangerous parts of Mexico have nothing going for them anyway, same as the dangerous parts of the U.S.

"B-B-BUT YOU CAN'T DRINK THE WATER!"
You can't drink the water in much of Europe, either. Some European countries where the tap will make you sick:
- Ukraine
- Albania
- Serbia
- Italy (I'm serious)
- Ireland (I'm serious)
Buy bottled water or a Brita filter. Don't be cheap.

"B-B-BUT IT'S NOT HUWYTE!"
Mexico is probably whiter than the U.S. at this point. All the mestizos went north.
Northern/western cities like Monterrey and Guadalajara are whiter than London, Paris etc.

More importantly, identity politics haven't made it to Mexico yet. White people are still high status and crime is purely economic, not race-based. You can be a big fish in a small pond (Latin America) or a small fish in a big pond (Europe).
Other points in Mexico's favor:
Easy residence/citizenship for Americans. Trying to get a residency permit in Europe is like pulling teeth. Latin America makes it easy for your dumb gringo ass to stay forever. They want your money and your phenotype.

No pandemic restrictions. Europe is closed to Americans right now. They'll probably make you get the vaggscene when they reopen.
Mexico has zero pandemic entry restrictions. No PCR tests, no quarantine. You can fly in right now and you'll be greeted with a smile.

No mass lockdowns. Most of Europe is under some kind of lockdown. Thailand locked down totally a couple of weeks ago.
In Mexico, "lockdown" means that Starbucks is closed. That's it. Everything else is open. Also, nobody will give you shit for not wearing a mask.

White God Factor.
The cache of being a Westerner or American is dying in Eastern Europe, outside of Georgia, Armenia, and Albania.
In Latin America, the White God Factor is ingrained into the culture and it's never going away.

Weather.
Mexico is, shockingly, not sweltering hot all the time. Guadalajara and Mexico City have pretty temperate weather; it actually gets fairly cold at night in the latter. The border area has hotter/colder weather because it's in the desert, but that's just one region.

Cost of living.
Mexico is on par with Eastern Europe and it's probably going to get cheaper since the dollar is performing well against the peso and poorly against the euro and non-E.U. currencies like the Hungarian forint.

Infrastructure. Mexico has better roads, Internet, utilities than much of Europe. I lived for nearly three months in an Albanian apartment that only had running water for a few hours a day. Mexico also has all the apps, corporate brands etc. that the U.S. has.
Cultural familiarity.
I'm not kidding when I say that white Americans have more in common with Latinos than they do with Europeans. There's still a learning curve if you move here, but it's less severe than in Europe (and definitely less severe than in Asia).

Also, you can enjoy the benefits of blending in AND having high status as a white person in Mexico.
In Europe, you can blend in, but you don't have high status. In Asia, you can have high status, but you won't blend in. Mexico lets you fade into the background and be ignored.

Latin America is more "trad" than Europe, if that's your thing. Outside of Argentina, Uruguay, and Mexico City, most Latinos don't give a shit about the woke bugaboos consuming the West.
Poland will legalize gay marriage by 2025. Trad Eastern Europe is a myth.

Things I don't like about Mexico compared to Europe:
- Lack of English fluency. Learn Spanish. It's easy. I'm already somewhat conversational after less than a month.
- Fat people (though European Mexicans are thinner).
- Lack of washing machines.

Overall, I highly recommend Latin America. It has all the upsides of Europe PLUS the upsides of Asia with few downsides.
