Alright, so I would just like to say I love old people. When I was younger I would squeeze old man’s cheeks as a joke every once a while, then I stopped. I came on the race and I was just inspired, so I decided I would take a picture squeezing old man’s cheeks around the world. I’m pretty much obsessed with it and my whole squad is aware.
IRELAND-THIS CUTE OLD MAN I MET ON A RAINY DAY IN A CAFE. COULD HE BE ANY CUTER?
ROMANIA-THIS GUY WAS HANGING OUT ON THE STREET AND AFTER I TOOK A PICTURE WITH HIM, HE INVITED TO HIS HOUSE FOR A BEER.
HUNGARY-THIS ONE OWNED THE CASTLE YOU SEE PICTURED HERE
TURKEY-REALLY COOL GUY THAT OWNED A RESTAURANT, PLAYED HIS GUITAR AND GAVE US FREE FOOD.
ISRAEL-THIS DEAR ONE WAS VICTIM OF MY OBSESSION. I STOPPED HIM ON THE STREET AND HAD BETHANY TAKE MY PHOTO, AND TRY TO EXPLAIN TO HIS SON WHAT I WAS DOING. I FOUND OUT HE WASN’T ISRAELI, HE WAS SPANISH. HE BASICALLY LOOKS LIKE THE GRANDPA OFF OF THE SOPRANOS AND HE WAS AN AWESOME SPORT THAT RAINY NIGHT IN JERUSALEM.
THE GARDEN TOMB-PRETTY MUCH HE LOOKS LIKE THE KEEBLER ELF AND I LOVED HIM.
EGYPT-THIS IS A GUARD AT THE PYRAMIDS. I ASKED HIS PERMISSION, HE SAID YES AND SO I TOOK A PICTURE. NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS BEING CHASED BY HIM AND HIS BUDDIES ON CAMELS. THEY ARRIVED AT OUR TOUR BUS AND REPRIMANDED ME. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET A TICKET OR SOMETHING, BUT I WAS OFF THE HOOK WHEN THEY REALIZED I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS WRONG.
JORDAN-THIS WAS MY TOUR GUIDE ON THE DAY I VISITED PETRA. THIS GUY LAUGHED WITH ME AND PRETTY MUCH GOT A KICK OUT OF MY HUMOR. IT WAS THE MOST FUN I’VE EVER HAD ON A BUS IN MY LIFE!
UGANDA-THIS GUY WALKED INTO THE CHURCH AND SAID THAT ONE OF US NEEDED TO NAME HIS FUTURE CHURCH. I TOOK A PICTURE WITH HIM AND THEN NAMED HIS CHURCH
KENYA-THIS ONE OWNED A DOPE JEWELRY SHOP, AND HE’S KENYAN, BUT HE WAS THE CUTEST INDIAN MAN EVER.
TANZANIA-WE MET OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE AND HE TRIED TO ASK ME FOR MONEY AFTER I TOOK A PICTURE WITH HIM. I THINK THAT’S ONE SMART DUDE.
THAILAND-OKAY, GOING INTO THIS MONTH THEY SAID THEY WOULDN’T TOUCH OLDER PEOPLE. I WAS SURE I WASN’T GOING TO FIND AN OLD MAN WILLING. THIS DEAR SOUL CAME ONTO THE BUS JUST GIGGLING AND LOVING LIFE. I ASKED TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH HIM AND WAS MORE THAN EAGER. HIS NAME IS MINZ. AFTER WE TOOK THE PHOTO HE FELL ASLEEP AND PRETTY MUCH DROOLED THE WHOLE RIDE HOME. IT WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOMENTS ON THE RACE. I FREAKING LOVED THIS GUY!
VIETNAM-THIS IS MY DEAR B! HE MADE MY DAY EVERY TIME I SAW HIM IN VIETNAM. I PRETTY MUCH KNEW THE MINUTE I SAW HIM THAT HE WOULD BE THE ONE I WOULD GET A PICTURE WITH! HE LOVED IT!
CAMBODIA-I JUST TOOK THIS PICTURE TODAY AND HAD BEEN STRESSING CAUSE I HAD SEEN LIKE MAYBE 2 OLD PEOPLE SINCE BEING HERE. THIS IS MY LAST PHOTO TO DATE! I’M SAD, BUT REALLY OVERJOYED I “SQUEEZED CHEEKS” IN EVERY COUNTRY!
THE END
