Take a tour of joyful places, from a virtual world full of zombies to a second-hand sauna in a garage
Not being able to travel or socialise the way we used to (pre-pandemic) means we have to come up with new ways to escape from our routines and find some joy. But you don't need a plane ticket to a tropical destination to get away from it all!
On this Now or Never we are inviting you to join people as they create their "happy place" right here at home. Here are some of the happy places we'll take you to:
Michelle Chubb is an Indigenous TikTok superstar, who is happiest when sharing her culture with her audience of over 300,000.
Steve Saylor has always loved video games — but because he's legally blind, it's been a struggle to play them. Now, the self-described "Blind Gamer" is finding joy and escape in accessible video games.
When Claire Fraser wants to relax she heads to her garage to pour water on hot rocks. You read that right: she recently installed a second-hand sauna in the back of her old, crowded garage.
Every morning at nine, after Rebekah Blok has fed her kids breakfast and prepared them for another busy day of learning at home, she turns on her computer and dances like no one is watching... even though dozens of people are watching (and dancing along) during the Rise and Shine Shake.
Sometimes, all you need to escape is a pair of VR goggles and a strong internet connection. Join Trevor and Ify as they virtually take people back to meaningful places from their past.
