Being 60, 70, or… 90 years old doesn’t mean you can’t adapt to modern times. Neither old age nor youth is just a number. A person can have many decades on their ID card but understand the world around them through the eyes of a millennial. And that’s who SPC people are: Always Connected People!
To celebrate life, to celebrate the lessons that older people always give us, and to celebrate their endless eagerness to learn, as part of the blog series we’ve developed for the 2nd Edition of Senior Week, today we bring you this collection of social profiles led by older people, but always connected.
Let’s get started!
.- @conbuenhumor (Instagram): with over 1 million followers, this profile shows us Christian’s very charming grandmother playing hidden camera pranks at 83 years old. Hats off to your grandmother’s cheekiness, Christian. When we grow up, we want to be just like her.
.- @la.yaya.maricarmen (Instagram): Mari Carmen follows the same modus operandi, as her grandson uploads videos of his grandmother in various everyday situations showing her funniest side (although judging by her reactions, she doesn’t always think so). One thing is true: at 82 years old, she dares to do everything, even ride a tricycle! It’s easy to see why she already has over 200,000 followers on her Instagram profile.
.- @abueliconchita2: Grandma Conchita shares her thoughts on different daily circumstances and situations with her more than 100,000 Instagram followers. Her 90 years of life experience give her the freedom and authority to express herself without filters, regardless of what others might say; but always from an elegant, neat, and orderly stance.
.- @teresalapelaya (Instagram): Grandma Teresa is a 92-year-old woman with no filters and no beating around the bush. At her age, she has earned the right to say whatever she wants! She already has over 180,000 followers on Instagram and is as natural as she is charming in the videos her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter upload while teasing her.
.- @sara_is_in_the_kitchen (Instagram): This mother and grandmother tops the list of the most stylish on Instagram. At 91 years old, she has been living with Parkinson’s disease for 30 years but shows every day that neither age nor her personal circumstances have stopped her from becoming a local fashion icon.
.- @abueladedragones (Instagram): This grandmother is already used to fame, success, and cameras, having won her season of the TV cooking contest Masterchef Grandparents. This has made her one of the most recognized grandmother influencers, with over 184,000 followers on her Instagram profile.
.- @guelapepi (Instagram): Don’t you find that the best recipes always come from grandmothers? To share them with all of us, Pepita Argüelles posts the recipes she wants to share with her nearly 25,000 followers.
.- @larosariotv (Instagram): Breaking several myths, this Instagram profile not only shows that age is no barrier to using the technological advances society offers but also stands as a strong advocate for the regional causes of her Extremadura. At 91 years old, Rosario freely shares her thoughts in front of the camera directed by her grandson Gonzalo and already has over 21,000 followers on her social network.
.- @luussanti (TikTok): And some dare to use TikTok, the quintessential millennial social network. Such is the case of Luis Santini, a man passionate about singing along to his guitar. If you visit his profile with over 1 million followers, you’ll see that besides singing songs, he’s a true sweet tooth who loves eating sweets and ice cream.
.- @elabuelodomingo (TikTok): Still on TikTok, we find this endearing grandfather and great-grandfather, Domingo. Now past 90 (he’s 94 years old), we see in him and his videos a person with a great sense of humor and full of vitality who especially loves spending time with his family and enjoying life’s pleasures.
