It's hard to learn about a place without experiencing it with locals!

Music: Jess loves techno and house music, excluding "chainsmokers". I like most styles of music, and really want to see some live performances in Wellington--brass bands in particular. Books: Currently halfway through The Lord of the Rings trilogy (I know it is very cliche, but I am owning it). Bossypants by Tina Fey was a favorite. Just picking up random books on hosts shelves is fun. Favorite movies: You've Got Mail, I Love You Man, Amelie, Joy, Silver Linings Playbook, Wedding Crashers, Shawshank Redemption...the list goes on
