Synopsis "Fernweh: The Longing for Places Unknown"
Hearing Peter discuss his life at a long lunch, Gary Regoli, CEO of Achieva Credit Union said, "Peter, you need to write a book." With a lot of time and help from his dear friend, Candy Christensen-Barker, Peter Kreuziger's life story is now in the pages of Fernweh.As a young boy, growing up in Austria, Peter was fascinated with the idea of traveling. In his teens, he quickly realized that the hospitality industry was a way to travel while working at luxury hotels with all the perks. Live well and eat well, was his plan. That ambition eventually led him to America where he graduated from Cornell University. After opening many hotels and restaurants, he settled in the town of Dunedin, Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, where he still resides with his wife, Mary. Peter's contribution to the growth of Dunedin started by renovating a waterfront beach bar into the popular restaurant, Bon Appetit, upgrading the hotel next door, and adding retail space to downtown. His story spans several decades and takes us all over the world on his adventures. While Peter is a local icon to the people of his community, he has made friends and colleagues worldwide. Wherever you're from, his story will delight you.
