When Robyn Flemming left Australia in 2010 to wander the world as a nomadic freelance editor, it wasn’t the first time she had shed an old skin for a new one.

Now nearing sixty, she packed her laptop,  clothes for different climates, a favourite pair of orange knickers and a well-used corkscrew.  Was her decision to risk everything yet again an act of faith or of folly?  

For two decades, she had known she was in trouble with alcohol and that a day of reckoning would come. As a permanent traveller, would she find the courage to change herself and not just her situation?

Skinful is about the questions we ask at life’s turning points: Who am I? What life do I want to live? 

If you’re asking yourself if your drinking is normal, it’s not.
