Despite all of the upheaval, Bashful Adventurers found their groove this year.
2020 did, after all, afford many of us the opportunity to reflect, to pick up some projects that had been dormant for a while, and to think big thoughts. And reader choices reflect that variety.
BashfulAdventurer.com’s most-read posts include a bit of the mystic, a touch of mystery, a smidgeon of comfort food, and a love of nature. Readers also dug into books, explored history, dreamed of Venice, and thought about some founding fathers. Art played a role, and so did the divine. In essence, Bashful Adventurers’ tastes in 2020 pretty much reflected the year. None of us got to travel as much as we would have liked to, but we sure did get to consider a lot of things.
