Peter Kamien"},"content":{"rendered":"

A few weeks ago we sat down with Peter Kamien in Ljubljana. We could easily describe Peter Kamien as a German living in Slovenia, with a passion for fine cuisine. Peter Kamien is a doctor of psychology and was East European director of an international advertising agency. He has the most experience in the field of tourism, motoring, tobacco industry, direct marketing and is the author of a number of award-winning communication campaigns, advertisements and campaigns.<\/strong> He came to Slovenia on business and stayed for love. Today, he works as a writer: his popular travel blog about living and traveling in Slovenia has nearly 120,000 readers. <\/strong><\/h2>

COULD\nYOU TELL OUR READERS WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND IN?<\/strong><\/p>

All my life I have admired people with ideas, full of visions, and creativity. I wanted to be one of them and because I was interested to know how it worked, I studied psychology. After completing my Ph.D., the then Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt took me into his campaigning team for the re-election for his second term. After that successful campaign, my career began in international advertising agencies first as a copywriter, creative director, and later in agency management. My job as Central and Eastern European head of a large international advertising agency finally brought me also to Slovenia, which leads to the next answer on your questions:<\/p>

YOU ARE\nGERMAN, WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO SLOVENIA AND WHAT WAS THE TURNING POINT THAT MADE\nYOU MOVE TO OUR COUNTRY?<\/strong><\/p>

I\nhad the task of finding a partner agency for Southeast Europe for our agency\nnetwork. I found what I was looking for in Slovenia and the Slovenian managing\ndirector of the agency that I discovered in Ljubljana is today my wife. We\nlived for a few years between Vienna, where our Eastern European headquarters\nwas and Ljubljana, commuting. 6 years ago I decided to move to Slovenia\ncompletely. Enough of driving. The answer to your question: I came to Slovenia\non business and stayed for love.
\nToday, I am working as author, journalist and blogger: My popular blog,\n“Mein Slowenien” about living and traveling in Slovenia in German\nlanguage has nearly 150,000 readers.<\/p>

WHAT\nFIVE WORDS BEST DESCRIBE SLOVENIA?<\/strong><\/p>

Its\ndiversity<\/strong> is breathtaking.
\nHis hospitality<\/strong> makes you feel at\nhome quickly.
\nHis cuisine<\/strong> is heaven for an amateur\ncook like me.
\nIts green<\/strong> is so colorful.
\nIts water<\/strong> refreshes body and soul.<\/p>
