Influencer Dumps NYC For Rural Life: ‘I Love It’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Social media influencer Paige Lorenze traded her New York lifestyle for a simpler life in the Connecticut countryside.
After acquiring over a million followers online while attending school in New York, in 2022, she moved back near the small town she grew up in.
“I never felt like I was at home, and I never felt like I was fully satisfied and comfortable with myself,” Lorenze said of her time in New York City. “I feel the most comfortable and confident when I’m home in this environment…Connecticut is the best, truly. I love it here.”

Although some might think New York would be a better place for social media content, she found a way to share the beauty of her state, and her followers are loving it.
“In New York, I always felt like I was selling something that wasn’t fully me,” she told Elite Daily last year. “Now, my content is really is a reflection of the things that I love and the life that I actually want to live.”
In a photo posted to Instagram of herself in a grassy field with a beautiful white horse, Lorenze reflected, “The job this platform has given me is a blessing beyond words: the ability to create and share my passions for videography, photography, nature, and the simpler things in life.”
She also has a lifestyle brand, Dairy Boy.
“Dairy Boy doubles as a lifestyle and clothing brand nostalgic to Lorenze’s childhood upbringing. ‘I grew up next to a riding school. I grew up on a lot of land. I grew up spending a lot of time in nature and around horses,’ she says of her ‘girl-next-door lifestyle’ she knew and loved,” PEOPLE reported.
“It’s like the simple pleasures of life,” she said of the brand. “It’s shopping locally, going outside, going on walks, going on hikes, horseback riding. It’s a little bit more suburban and more country living.”
