Tough call on the most scenic place. Iceland is stunning, but I'm weirdly partial to Orkney. It's sort of stark and mysterious with this amazing ancient history on view everywhere you turn.

I live on a farm, so I had better be outdoorsy! I get stir crazy when I'm stuck inside too long, and I love working outside, doing hands-on projects, or just being in nature. When I travel, it's usually to take long hikes.
My merit-badge moment this year was probably tackling my girlie chainsaw phobia and finally learning to use one. As you might imagine, there are occasionally downed limbs and trees around the farm that need cutting up, and hiring someone to do it gets expensive. I got an electric chainsaw to start with, and it's not as bad as I thought it would be! (I picture an embroidered image of chainsawing a dollar in half?)
If at first you don't succeed, splat and splat again!
The first time I saw the word "Orkney" was reading it in your comment. I just looked it up and wow, the views there are stunning. I can imagine you had quite the adventure with all the interesting historical sights.
Haha, yeah, "farmer" is the prototypical outdoorsy occupation, though I suppose you could work in a greenhouse or something. I'm glad we have a solid rep for outdoorsiness in Table Talk among us pale dwellers of indoor darkness. ^_^
+50 points for your "Chainsaw Bravery" badge (which doubles as a "Chainsaw Frugality" bagde)! Though I wouldn't describe chainsaw phobia as "girlie," so much as "logical" and "universal." There's a reason horror movies feature them prominently!
