About The Author

Peter Kurze was born in 1965 in Kathmandu, Nepal. He is the son of a retired U.S. Foreign Service Officer and a German mother. His life has largely been molded by long stays and numerous visits to many countries, including Nepal, Morocco, India, France, Canada, Barbados, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan and the United States. Peter speaks four languages and has traveled to 50 countries. The author received his M.A. in International Relations from the Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), and his B.A. in European Integration and International Studies from The American University, both in Washington, D.C. He has also studied in Brussels, Belgium, and Göttingen, Germany. True to his cosmopolitan upbringing, Peter has worked in an international capacity for a German conglomerate, a private U.S. company, and a multinational trade association based in Japan.
