When Seve Gat's boarded the plane for her dream holiday to China, she actually did so in the comfort of her own home.The Kenyan resident had her friends Photoshop her on to the tarmac, and she proceeded to take a virtual tour of the country, fulfilling one of her life dreams. Their crude editing skills saw Seve plonked on to the Great Wall of China, placed bare-foot on the world's most dangerous hiking trail, and stand awkwardly with a group of tourists in front of a temple.The hilariously bad photo-edits saw Seve skyrocket to Internet fame, but it also attracted the attention of a generous entrepreneur.
Sam Gichuru, who described himself as a 'dreamer', saw Seve's plight and decided to make her travel dream a reality. By 'harassing' his friends Sam was able to arrange travel, four-star accommodation, insurance and pocket money for a holiday to China, before contacting Seve to tell her the news.'Talked to Sevelyn (Gat's), she is a nice ambitious humble farmers daughter, who asked her friends to photoshop her in China because she felt like she was there on those photos,' he wrote on Facebook.'Trip being planned for summer 2016. So, now it's all up to you Seve Gat's.'
Seve had shared the Photoshopped photos on her Facebook page, alongside a series of tongue-in-cheek captions. 'I have left the country to China,' she wrote as her Photoshopped figure boarded the virtual plane. 'Woow enjoying everything here,' [sic] she continued, from atop the Great Wall. 'Last day of visit. Bye China,' she finished, from a Photoshopped group shot of a temple visit. The epic Photoshop fails has prompted the Internet to join in, with the hashtag #WhereIsSeveGatsNow active on Twitter.
