I am the Australian author of a travel and recovery memoir, Skinful. (2022; revised 2024).
I lived in Hong Kong from 1986 to 1993. Between 2010 and 2020, I travelled the world as a nomadic freelance editor. Since 2022, I have made my home in Kuching, capital of the Malaysian state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo.
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?
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?
