The Viceroy Bali

A lazy sunrise scrambles as it makes its way to the top of the cotton candy skies. The black silhouettes of scattered bony palm trees begin to show shades of green under the morning rays. Somewhere in the distance, the sound of a waterfall grazes your palette of your ears. A peach colored cloud hangs above the infinity pool, unaccompanied. Your day is just about to begin, and you already realize that you never want to leave.

Here is every reason you need to go to Barcelona solo. I did not know the names of the places I constantly saw in photographs, I did not know any of its famous streets, and certainly knew nothing about the restaurants. Coming to Barcelona, I was really an explorer. Little did I know, this was the perfect setup for a solo trip. Allow me to plead my case.

[Hopefully] by now you are asking yourself the how, what, where, when, and why. How do I get there? What is that? Where is that? When can I go? and Why am I not there yet? Follow me Iceland - only five hours away from NYC, on a direct flight. You can go there for just two-three days. It is the perfect weekend getaway. So I encourage you to, please, do what I did: take a friday off and book your flight to Iceland for a weekend. Now, let's get down to business.
