Vice's This Must Be The Place is a new show on TikTok that explores the unknown. Hosted by Daren Girdner, a TikTok enthusiast, the show takes viewers on a journey through different creators and communities on the platform. Girdner showcases lesser-known videos that highlight unique topics.

In the first episode, Girdner focuses on something we all love: getting things for free. He delves into the world of foraging, dumpster diving, and upcycling, showcasing how these practices can turn old things into new and valuable items. Foraging on TikTok provides a glimpse into the art of collecting food from the wild and emphasizes its importance. Alexis Nicole, a TikTok creator, explains how foraging has been a part of the black experience in America and shares its significance to her as a black woman. Gabrielle, another creator, dispels the misconception that food picked from outdoors is of lower quality than store-bought items.

The episode also features creators who demonstrate various ways to find free stuff, including dumpster diving and upcycling. Anna Sacks, known as @thetrashwalker on TikTok, showcases the high-quality, unused goods she finds while dumpster diving. Justin Davies, or @jdisjustin, demonstrates how to upcycle a block of wood he found on the side of the road.

The show highlights that free stuff is all around us, and with the help of the foraging, dumpster diving, and upcycling communities on TikTok, we can learn to spot unique and useful finds in our environment.
