#friend #holiday #first #time #summer #advice
Dear Megan, I hear that you're planning a camping holiday
this
 summer. I think you will really enjoy the experience, most especially breathing in the great outdoors, and be one with nature.
However
, there are some things that you need to know before going on the trip. Be aware of camping farther out in the woods as it might be a bit dangerous as some bears are eager to wander around at night hunting for food. It's better to camp near the park entrances or somewhere where a forest ranger station is nearby.
Also
, since you're camping outside expect to get bit by mosquitos, So I suggest that you bring at least 2 mosquito repellents and a mosquito net. To fend off those pesky mosquitos ruining your sleep. Luckily I'm free on the holiday and I don't have anything much planned, and if you are interested, I can accompany you and I think it's more enjoyable to have someone with some experience in helping you with your
first
 time camping. I know you're gonna have a good time and it'll be a memorable experience for you. Your Friend, Jason Andrews
