Reino Gevers left his home country, South Africa, for Europe in 1981 where he worked for many years as a journalist for an international news agency. His first fictional book, Walking on Edge, is based on first-hand experience during several hikes on the ancient paths of the Camino de Santiago in northwestern Spain. His latest book, Deep Walking, takes the reader on a chapter-by-chapter journey of self-development and spiritual renewal. Reino is based on the Mediterranean island of Majorca where he spends much of his free time hiking, practicing martial arts, reading, and writing.
