Heading Off: Afternoons listener Frida Harper takes us to the Ancient Silk Road

From Afternoons, 1:45 pm today

Time for heading off. It's the moment in the show when we take you travelling to locations you might always have wondered about. 

We love hearing about your adventures, so if you have one you'd like to share, please email us afternoons@rnz.co.nz

Today we're going with Afternoons listener Frida Harper to Kazakhstan, Kyrgistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.

Frida Harper is wearing a blue cap and green bag. She is standing on some dusty ground in front of what looks like a rocky cliff hidden by scrub and bushes. She is holding a golden eagle on her right hand.
