Hollywood stars Mindy Kaling and Reese Witherspoon are making their way to New Zealand and they couldn’t be more excited about it.

Mindy – who stars in, produces and writes her own sitcom The Mindy Project – took to social media earlier today to share her excitement at coming here, revealing she’d been rewatching The Lord of the Rings in preparation for the trip.

“I am headed here for work and I could not be more excited,” she captioned a photo of herself holding a travel guide to New Zealand.

“I usually play characters that work in American offices so this is big change! Plus so much stellar comedy from this country. Any lovely Kiwis out there have recommendations for me? Your country is so beautiful and I am lucky to be able to go,” she continued.

The photo, which was shared on both Facebook and Instagram today, quickly garnered plenty of suggestions from helpful Kiwis about the best spots to visit.

Reese also posted a photo of herself to social media that showed her excitement at coming here. The Instagram post says:”I’m off to #NewZealand!!!! My first visit ever… What should I do? Where should I go?… Did I pack too much????”
