@JetsetExtra I haven’t been! Hobbiton is on my list. New Zealand looks amazing with its diversity of terrain in such a small area. #JSETT

A1. I went to NZ about a decade ago but only for 10 days so I only saw the North Island. Discovering the Maori culture was amazing #JSETT

— dogsloveshushi (@MarjiStevens) July 23, 2015
