I have a big dilemma that I don't know how to solve. On the one hand, I want to spend my holidays in the sun here in Argentina, because we are practically in summer. But, on the other hand, I'm also attracted to the idea of going skiing in Europe, in the Alps or in some other ski resort. I love the snow and its landscapes, in Argentina you can practice winter sports in the mountain range of the Andes and Patagonia, but there is still a long way to go till ski season. So I think the best option is to wait for the southern hemisphere winter and drop by some beaches these weeks.
