i didn't know a lot about new zealand beforewe came here, other than that people really liked the quality of life here, and, all ican say - i mean it is what i thought it was going to be, it is a beautiful place. i'm jordan, i'm from the united states fromthe state of utah and i'm now living in wellington, new zealand working as a senior game designer. games have always been a part of my life – well,when i was very young i imagined myself creating games but then of course when i went to school,i threw that out that window. i was studying engineering in school, i re-foundmy childhood love of being a game creator. pikpok has been in the business for quitea long time, a lot longer than a lot of game studios,
and right now they're pretty muchexclusively focussing on making mobile games - it's sort of a mix of between play and work,if you can call making games working hard i guess so. we heard about new zealand from some friendswho had lived here on sabbatical and other people that had lived here as well, and theyall raved about it they all loved it, it was on our top list of places to come. my wife is jo, we met at university in utah,and we have two kids lucy is 12 years old and gabriel just turned 11. we were actually quite comfortable in theunited states, we were very happy, but you
know when you're comfortable you're oftennot growing so, i wanted to broaden our family’s world view, i wanted our children to thinkof themselves you know not just as citizens of a single country but as citizens of theworld. i got this offer offer in new zealand andwe told the kids so it was kind of hard for them, but they were also excited …mario: i actually remember when jordan applied originally because there was a little bitof to-ing and fro-ing between two of our different directors, both wanting to hire him - whilewe didn't necessarily know where jordan might fit in we did recognise that this was somebodythat we should pursue, and try to create a role for them within the company that wouldbest suit him.
jordan: for us moving here wasn't just aboutcoming to a new country, it was also we wanted to go through that exercise of downsizing,we wanted to maybe live a little bit smaller, we realised that we didn't need all of thisspace, we didn't need all of this stuff. for example we don't own a car, we haven'tsince we moved here, it's been over a year we just use the bus and we walk a lot, andit's been a big you know lifestyle change for us, but it's been a good one i think. we can walk in any direction and be on a trailwalking through the hills, up to a lot of different great views. we love going over to the park, we live reallyclose to karori park which is a big beautiful
park, the kids love playing in the playground,we like to throw a frisbee around, something
car hire www.nissan.360.com eastbourne,we did back home a lot. i think if you like stability and comforti wouldn't suggest making the move. we were like i said - we were quite comfortableand happy but, i also like change and i like challenge, and so that's why, you know thatwas the reason we came - to be challenged.
