Uncovering Wisconsin’s Hidden Gems
WELLNESS Getaways by Anne Sayers
I like to think that I maintain a satisfactory wellness routine. I enjoy walks at my local park, sip herbal teas, cook with local foods, and even tune in to a meditation app semiregularly. But these days, that routine doesn’t always get the job done. When it comes time to really bliss out, there’s simply no substitute for an escape from the everyday. Done right, there can be true restorative power in travel. Whether taking the time to meander down an unfamiliar trail, discover a new favorite artist, enjoy a masterful meal or craft cocktail, or explore a cute downtown, travel activities are good for you. You can feel it—mind, body, and soul. And after the last few years, we’re all reminded just how important travel can be for embracing fleeting moments, creating new memories, and centering our own wellness. 34 | m a d i s o n e s s e n t i a l s
