Poland, I presume?
I have put into consideration the idea of moving to an AES country myself, but the truth is that it's a rather risky move if you live in the West. If you have higher education it can be an arduous process the one of convalidating your titulation there, and even if you achieve it, depending on your field, you could find yourself living in less than ideal conditions compared to the ones you could have in countries next door to yours: AES countries, particularly China, are doing an outstanding work at developing and granting its peoples better life standards faster than anyone else, but they still have a way to go.
If you are determined however, and especially if China seems to be one place where your profession can grant you a good life, then don't let anyone stop you. If you still live with your parents, is there a chance you could save enough until you can safely leave for China yourself?
Latin America can be a good place to start a new life, especially in countries like Chile and Uruguay. That being said, I have always had the impression that Computer Science and other tech-related degrees are above average in opening you gates to a good life in other countries. This may be an uninformed opinion however, as I have never asked around much to people who are actually inside that world.
First and foremost it's all about investigating if, aside from the overall quality of life that people have there, your destination is well-suited for you and how willing it is to accept and treat well specialists of your field of work. I considered moving to Norway per example, until I learned that they have an excess of professionals of my field, so I had to begin looking instead to countries around it.
You are ideally searching for two things: that your destination is in need of professionals from your field, and that they are willing to give you a pay high enough that you can live a comfortable life there. There are quite a few instances in which a country needs specialists but they are unwilling to offer a good pay in return.
The way that gives you the best results at obtaining information is at the same time the one that is most direct: ask to the people from the place how easy it is to get a job of your field and how is life there working in your field. There are several communities on the internet dedicated to people of a country in particular: in Reddit you can find them easily, and most of them can easily respond to you if you ask in English.
