I like it, but it wouldn’t be my first place. Instead of a forest, I would rather go to
the beach or the mountains. There’s something I find a little eerie (creepy)
about being in a forest. I always fear the critters (animals), or even worse the
people who could be lurking around (hanging out) in the forest.
