The best way to explore a new city is to connect with the people who live in it. Join jetsetting presenters Toby Amies and Asha Gill on a radical urban adventure as they plug into city after city with the help of its most colourful and clued-in residents. Auckland Presenter Asha Gill hooks up with cartoon graffiti artist Misery to help her transform a campervan into a unique work of art. Misery takes Asha to Polynesian fashion designer and fa'fa'fine Lindah E, who co-opts Asha into an all-black wedding shoot. On K road, Asha meets Reverand Mua, a freestyle rapping man of God preaching the righteous path to Auckland's Polynesian youth. Lindah hooks Asha up with Auckland firefighter Mags, who dangles her off the floodlights of Eden park and then takes her altitude gardening off a 60-metre waterfall. Asha plants trees on tribal land with Maori chief Joe Hawke and goes hunter-gathering with master chef Garth Hokianga, plucking salad from the nearest bush and digging dinner out of the sand. Asha joins high-access rope worker Ed Dennis as he works on the outside of Sky Tower, the tallest building in the southern hemisphere.
