Solo Travel Trip Idea in Wisconsin for Women

From Spa Days to German Delights: A Safe Solo Journey to Madison and Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin

Hello beautiful travelers! I'm Joy, your solo travel guide and coach, here to remind you that travel isn’t just about destinations—it’s about your journey to discovery and rejuvenation. Today, I’m inviting you into a successful solo trip I took to Madison, Wisconsin and Wisconsin Dells, where I found peace, planned my next moves, and lived joyfully on my own terms.

Whether you’re married, divorced, widowed, or single—if you're a woman craving more freedom, fun, flexibility, and fulfillment in your life, solo travel might be exactly what your spirit is yearning for.

Madison: The Perfect Starting Point

I began this trip in the charming and lively capital of Wisconsin—Madison. It’s a solo traveler’s dream with walkable streets, delicious food, and a lake breeze that welcomes you.  Madison is right between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona.  

There’s something incredibly freeing about walking through a new city on your own terms. No compromises with others on the trip, no itinerary negotiations—just you, your thoughts, and your plans. I ate yummy German food (Oh, that warm chewy pretzel!), stayed at a B&B with a big, jetted tub and fireplace in my room, and visited the state capitol.  Plus, I drove to nearby Wollersheim Winery to see their Wine Cave! The cheese and other culinary delights were really fun to sample as I took a food tour with Madison Food Explorers to join in with others while traveling solo.  But the real soul-replenishing moment came when I headed to Wisconsin Dells for my stay at the luxurious Sundara Inn &Spa.

Sundara Spa: A Sanctuary of Stillness

Located in the scenic pine forest of Wisconsin Dells, Sundara Spa isn’t just a place—it’s an experience. From the moment I arrived, the world seemed to quiet down.  Just soft robes, warm fireplaces, and the kind of silence that helps you hear your own heart again.

Sundara is an award-winning spa retreat with a commitment to holistic wellness and peace. I indulged in their signature Purifying Bath Ritual—a multi-step self-care process that left my skin glowing and my soul lighter. I enjoyed forest bathing, their boat ride, and gave myself permission to simply be.

I booked spa treatments that felt like a reset button for my whole nervous system. It was bliss.

But it wasn’t just about pampering. My solo time at Sundara allowed me to reflect deeply. I journaled about where I’ve been, where I want to go next, and how I want to feel along the way. This quiet space gave me clarity. That’s one of the biggest gifts solo travel offers—it gives you back yourself.

Why This Trip Mattered

This wasn’t just solo time away from home. It was a vital recalibration. I left this solo journey feeling aligned, so energized, and empowered. I returned with clarity, goals, and most importantly—memories made entirely on my terms.

I often hear from women who feel stuck. They’re craving adventure, connection, something more—but they hesitate. “I’ve never traveled alone.” “Is it safe?” “Isn’t it lonely?”

To that, I say: it’s normal to feel unsure before your first solo trip. That’s why I created my coaching sessions—so you don’t have to navigate this alone.
