Aigerim Serik hosts a podcast about travelling through Kazakhstan the way a resident would: settling in one place, learning it, then moving somewhere connected to it.

The host also follows ...

Each place has its own altitude, weather and language mix, from Sharchopkha in the east to Lhotshamkha near the southern...
