The Happy Pod: Mountaintop matchmaking

Available for over a year

In the Swiss mountains, handwritten notes left on mountain peaks have been turning scenic climbs into unexpected matchmaking journeys, bringing nature lovers together one hike at a time. Dubbed “Mountain Tinder”, couples are meeting through notebooks tucked into mountaintop letterboxes. The movement is spreading beyond Switzerland, inspiring similar efforts as far away as Argentina. With no swipes or algorithms, it is a love story written in the clouds. Also, a couple in Tasmania have taken to tackling homelessness into their own hands, a group of actors are bringing the joy of theatre to remote communities in Finland by touring on a boat, and how Strictly Come Dancing's first celebrity with Down's Syndrome is inspiring others.
