I lived abroad in Prague for 6.5 years.
The first year or so was new and interesting then you really need to assimilate or you're stuffed. Getting into the culture, eating the local food etc. when on a holiday is completely different to living there. I found that I wasn't willing to give my identity up and live as a local. I still really like Prague, Czech people, the relaxed atmosphere but I like living in the UK more.
You can weigh up all the pros and cons beforehand and on paper it may look better but if you feel that you just don't fit in living there then you're probably better off moving back. If you have problems adjusting to your new life as an expat that can lead to depression. I had problems with anxiety as an expat and I know of a couple friends who have had problems with depression.
For all my negative comments it could work out fine, just be aware that it isn't for everyone and you can only find out by giving it a go.
