About Victoria Clayton
I was born in the UK of a Scottish mother and an Australian father and grew up in Melbourne.
I have been a field archaeologist, excavating in Syria, Turkey, Jordan and Australia and an English teacher in Melbourne and China, among a ridiculous number of other occupations.
I’m interested in a lot of things.
Travel, the past, books, libraries, language, things found in the ground and in museums, particularly ancient figurines. Ideas. Things to think about.
I never thought I would, but I also know a bit about dementia, loss and grief and being an adult orphan. Learning what a well-lived life looks like.
Now I live in a Van, my tiny home-on-wheels, somewhere in Australia with Dougal, the dog-like cat, and I write about all of it.
