In her spare time Jaci likes to hui with her friends, listen to new Aotearoa music Live or CD and enjoys a good kani kani.

Every year she chooses a destination to toro within Aotearoa, this year was Te Moeka o Tuaawe (Fox Glacier). She saw some things you don't see everyday - Jack Osbourne! Jaci thoroughly recommends Fox Glacier giving it a 9/10.

 Ka hoki au ki te mauri o hourouta me takitimu o ooku waka
Tau mai raa hikurangi me Aoraki

E ko koia e ara e!!!!!!
