I have a Swedish passport (was born there) but I've been living in England since I was 4. Though, my ethnicity is extremely mixed. I'm a quarter Spanish, an eighth Swedish, an eighth Finnish, quarter Berber-Moroccan, and a quarter Indo-Guyanese (may have some native american from there too). So quite a mix, though when people ask me where I'm from, I never really have a clue about what to say :s-smilie:

I have never seen a person who has so many nationalities. I'm astonished. Did you have distant relations in the whole world or why you are so multinational? Are you Japanese and/or Uruguayan too?

Yep, I have relatives all over the world. But I only have a Swedish passport. My mother is half Indo-Guyanese (people from the Caribbean who are originally Indian) from her dad, and my mum's mother is half Swedish/half Finnish but raised in Sweden. My father is half Berber-Moroccan (Berbers are a type of people found in Morocco, the original people of Morocco before the Arabs came, though most modern Berbers are very mixed) from his fathers side, and his mother is a Spanish Arab. So yes, I am extremely mixed lol :biggrin:

My maternal grandparents met in London in the 60's when they both worked at the Savoy Hotel, and my paternal grandparents met in Morocco (there are a lot of Spaniards in Morocco). My mum and dad met in Sweden :smile:

I would love to see your family tree. :biggrin:

That can be interesting. Are you a multilingual person too? which languages of your relation are your native ones? which of them do you speak fluently? I bed on Swedish, Spanish and English.

I speak Swedish too :smile:

because I was born there and my mum and grandmother grew up there. My grandparents live there too :smile:

Swedish is basically the same language as Norwegian so I can understand about 85% of Norwegian and maybe 60% of Danish. I used to be able to speak Arabic when I was little but I've since forgotten it :frown:

but unfortunately I can't speak Spanish. And yeah, one day I'd like to look up more of my family tree, and maybe do a dna test to see from where most of my dna is from. How about you? Where are you from? :smile:

I personally think being from Britain must be really interesting, they have so much history :redface:
