Jessica Aubrey
France
I just moved to Paris, France from the United States. My mother is Brazilian but my dad is a blonde haired, blue-eyed American. I have brown hair and eyes, but I never thought I looked all that Brazilian in comparison to my family– but now that I live abroad, I’ve realized that apparently many people find my look enigmatic. I have only lived here for 3 months, but at least once every 2 weeks there is someone so curious about trying to figure out my ethnicity that they actually approach me and ask. It’s been the strangest but most fun experience of my life abroad.
