Forests generally are a bit more laid back. I personally prefer living near the forest due to the nature of the people near it. Generally, people that live near the forest are a bit more laid back about unimportant things. Comparing it to when I lived in the city (Seattle), its still a lot more laid back.
he likes the woods. life needs to be about balance, and when you're on a computer for most of the day, it's nice to be able to go into a natural environment for a break, even if you're just looking out the window, it provides some relief from the screen. it's really more productive, having an open area, rather than separated offices and studio. less stressful, etc.
