Lonely Planet Six Degrees is the new flagship series produced by Lonely Planet.

Playful, sassy, street smart and unexpected, Lonely Planet Six Degrees connects to what makes each city special - the people that live in it. By emphasising the human dimension of travel Lonely Planet Six Degrees moves beyond sightseeing and offers the surest way of being whisked off your feet and fast-tracked to the heart of a city.

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 Reverend Mua, a freestyle rapping man of God preaching the righteous path to Auckland's Polynesian youth. Lindah hooks Asha up with Auckland fire-fighter Mags, who dangles her off the floodlights of Eden Park and then takes her high-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.
