This former model ditched Hollywood to live in a renovated school bus with her baby: ‘The best way for a kid to grow up’

This mom is taking her family off the beaten path.

Laura La Rue, a 32-year-old retired model from Los Angeles, California, traded the high life for the trail less traveled when she retreated from the spotlight several years ago.

Now, she lives in a renovated school bus with her baby daughter, growing their own produce and living off the land as much as they can.

“Most people get married, buy a house and have a kid. This is what I wanted — a safe haven where I can have people over and enjoy the bare necessities. Luckily, how I live doesn’t require a lot of money,” she told the LA Times in a recent interview.

La Rue had previously worked with the likes of iconic photographer David LaChappelle and was spotted on the arm of Hollywood’s most notorious hunks including Leonardo DiCaprio.

But after quitting school at 16 to pursue her dreams, the aging model found herself longing for nature — as she had when she was a young girl growing up in Thousand Oaks.
