Biography: general; Medicine; Coping with drug & alcohol abuse; Travel & holiday

It's never too late to make a new path to a different future. For two decades, Robyn Flemming had known she was in trouble with alcohol and that a day of reckoning would come. When she set off in 2010 to wander the world as a freelance editor, it wasn't the first time she had shed an old skin for a new one. Now nearing sixty, was her decision to risk everything yet again an act of faith or of folly? As a global nomad, would she find the courage to change herself and not just her location?

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