Gail Perry, also published as Gail Perry Johnston, is an author, designer, traveler, and trekker.
She was both author and designer of the Walks of the World page-a-day calendar series featuring the immersive travel experience of hut-to-hut and inn-to-inn hiking on long-distance trails with lodging along the way. Countries around the world are inviting travelers to see their land and enjoy their culture one step at a time. These long walks are surprisingly accessible, combining the challenge of hiking with the comfort of staying in an inn, B&B, guesthouse, or hut.
