I have been living in New Zealand since I was 3 years old, then moved to Sweden for a year in late 2005 (where the adventures really started). I have also lived in Japan for a brief 3 months and would love to go back there.
So why on earth did I move 17,000 kilometers from my family and friends to be in the freezing cold Nordic region? Gaming. My team the girlz 0f destruction have been living in a professional e-Sports training facility since February 2006. The house was for one year and what a year that was. With our sponsorship we were able to travel the world, going to at least one gaming event per month. Some countries I visited include:
2006 was an incredible year for me. Living with my team was so much fun and i’m very sad to say that our contract is over and we went our separate ways. Also when I lived in the gaming house I have been doing gaming videos which you can view on my video page.While trying to live the dream life of a professional gamer, income is still sometimes an issue. For the past few years I have combined my love for gaming with my love for writing and have worked for several gaming websites and even a magazine at some point.In late September of 2007 I was drafted into the Berlin Allianz team in the Championship Gaming Series. This means I FINALLY made it to be a paid professional gamer… but in what game?? Dead or Alive 4!
Our team became champions of Europe by closely beating Stockholm by 2 points. Then again we won closely in 2008 becoming continental European champions for the second time.
In January 2009, I relocated to Germany where I am now working as a Marketing Manager.
