Lee McGavin

I was born and raised in Bristol, thankfully without the Bristolian accent (Let's be honest, not the most soothing accent). I spent my younger years in school like most kids, except with a little bit more of a keen mind for education than the others.

I decided that I wanted to see the world, to travel; And so I did. I had this passionate appetite for it and so went on a 3 month trip to Japan, Australia and finally New York in the summer of my 19th birthday; it was the most amazing experience in my life so far.

But upon returning home, the majority of my friends began to leave Bristol for university. I didn't feel that university was right for me at the time; I have no idea what I want to do and I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon (bandwagon being lots of fun but lots of debt with no promise of a job at the other end) unless I was 100% sure of what I wanted to do. I only knew I wanted to travel, which there are no degrees for unfortunately, but I didn't want to be stuck in Bristol.

So I moved to London. I was picked up by a modelling agency in Oxford Circus back when I was 16 years old and ever since I had been working part-time for them. So I took it up full-time for a year when I moved. I didn't do much, just enough to get by! I don't think I'd ever be able to be good enough for the industry because of my sweet tooth and dislike for exercise anyway.

I live in Paris now, training in an agency to be an au pair and taking language classes, oh and also currently stealing wifi from the local café!
