    I'm french and i've met quite a few portuguese over the years as there is a large portugese community here in France. Most of them have pale skin and light eyes but i would have never guessed you were portuguese. I would have said Irish or english. My friends with portugese origins are really nice and very proud of their parents country. i've never been to Portugal but i've only heard great things about it. Sounds like a beautiful country!

      K Le Blanc, I totally agree with you. I'm Irish,she would easily pass as an Irish girl. I'm learning French and Portuguese,both are romance languages and very similars. Well,I visited Portugal in 2017,and I was really impressed how similars are Portuguese people and Irish people,specially traits,eyes,etc...Some people say many clichés about Portuguese, some say they are swarthy. But in general they're pale. Portugal had a huge celtic influence in the past. Celtic people from Iberia migrated to British Islands. That's why Irish,Portuguese,Spanish and French have many traits in common. The truth is that French,Spanish,Portuguese and Irish have over 70 per cent of celtic DNA.

      @Kassandra. You got me interested with your insightfull comment so i've looked up Portugal history and it looks like Portugal have been conquered by the moors ( If your interested search for "The iberian peninsula in 750" ). Correct me if i'm wrong because i didn't go in depth in my research. What is even more interesting for that matter is the Portuguese colonial empire. Slaves were brought from Africa and India to Portugal. You'd think that children of these slaves would end up being portuguses and influencing the traits of todays portuguese traits.
      I was really interested in doing one of those DNA test but after finding out that it was not as accurate as i thought it was, i gave up but i love the idea of knowing where your ancestors lived. What i love even more is how going back in time makes us Humans more than anything else because you'll always find that you share DNA with human beings coming from various places of the plante. just like Chá das cinco beautifully said:"That's why Irish,Portuguese,Spanish and French have many traits in common". France, Spain, Portugal,etc. all those countries seem to have always been a crossroads in human routes of migration so it's like we shouldn't even be surprised with all the DNA meltingpot at this point.
      Edit: Saunders, A. (2010). A Social History of Black Slaves and Freedmen in Portugal. pp. 19-21: "The records of the royal chronicler Zurara claim that 927 African slaves were brought to Portugal between 1441 and 1448, and an estimated 1000 black slaves arrived in Portugal each year afterward. A common estimate is that around 2000 black slaves arrive in Lisbon annually after 1490."
      Magalhaes, J.R. (1997). "Africans, Indians, and Slavery in Portugal: "Slaves were able to buy their freedom by saving any earnings, so long as their masters allow them to keep their earnings, or purchase a slave to replace them. Women slaves could be freed if their masters chose to marry them, but this was more common among the colonies. When Lisbon was on the verge of being invaded in 1580, slaves were promised their freedom in exchange for their military service. 440 slaves took the offer and most, after being freed, left Portugal. Black female slaves were desired by portuguese men, resulting in many mixed-race offspring. This prompted the Council of Trent in 1563 to denounce the widespread immorality. Mulattoes had the ability to integrate into society, some would even command whole fleets of ships. Slavery did little to alter society in Portugal, due to the slight ease of enslaved people’s integration."

      There was a slave market in the South of Portugal. And again in the South, some wealthy individuals did have slaves until it was banned by the King. I don’t know what happen to them. Back then people were very prejudice against outsiders and people that looked different. I know that prior to 1974 no one from the empire could come to Portugal without a license and no Portuguese could leave the country without a license too. I’m know men misbehaved in the colonies that’s why the vast majority of the population of Brazil are mixed by white men and Native American women and black women. I don’t think those men were allowed to bring their families to Portugal due to the racism back then but they could do pretty much what they wanted in the colonies! I know, it’s so disgusting!

    Many people don’t know how Portuguese people look like. They look at our football team and think that people look like them. About 70% of footballers in our national football team come from the ex colonies like Pepe from Brazil, Nani from Cape Verde, Renato Sanches from Cape Verde and so on so forth. Native Portuguese are white with different hair colours and eye colours. Some are more tanned others more pale.

Even Southern Italians and Greeks are whiter than the Portuguese and the Southerm Spanish. In general I would say that Italians and Greeks are whiter in skin color than Spaniards, but Spaniards have a higher percentage of light eyes than Greeks. The Portuguese, on the other hand, are only compared with the Italians from Sardinia and with the Spanish from the south.

In the north of Italy as well as in the south of the peninsula it is possible to find a great number of dark and Moorish-looking types as well as a great number of fair skinned types as well as blond and red-haired blue eyes. From north to south of Italy, you will find people who look like Turks or Lebanese and people who look like Austrians or Irish.

    I'm Portuguese, and I am very white with greenish eyes and dark hair (when I was young not so much hair now but I suppose it would be graying). Funny though, even within my siblings, we have differences brother had brown eyes tanned easily and sisters as well but I don't tan to good so I like to stay out of the sun as I burn. I am very white.

    I am Scottish with Black Hair and Hazel Eyes but I have lived in Australia for the last 20 years so eventhough I have pale skin I have a slight tan on my face and arms. I have met a few portuguese people in Australia and they had pale skin like yourself either Blonde or light brown hair. The Portuguese lady I worked with was a Blonde with Blue eyes. I would argue the Portuguese people I have met looked lighter than myself.
    I think people confuse portuguese with Brazilian people in South America.

    This vlog was most revealing because where I’m from (USA-Seattle ) we have no idea what the Portuguese are like. I’ve been to Bilbao and Iglacia and assume there are similarities. My wife’s family comes from Vadheim Norway and have that family name and heritage from Lasse Vadheim who settled in Wisconsin and Minnesota USA. My wife’s father moved from Minnesota to Tacoma WA in 1943. In 1967 my wife and I (age 23) visited Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen. I was a graduate architect (1966) in the US Army at the time (1967). Love your vlog and wish you well for a satisfying life as an architect and all it promises for a full and productive life. You’ve definitely got the the right idea with a love of travel. Eventually you might even become a genuine human, however I think you are already there except for you sister’s lead with a child. Keep up the good work. Richard Bittmann, Architect, Tacoma, WA

      If you went to Portugal, you would be treated nicely like everybody else but they would not consider you Portuguese because you were not born there, that’s not your culture and your parents are not Portuguese. Many Brazilians of Portuguese ancestry that move to Portugal are considered foreigners. Unless their parents are native Portuguese and moved to Brazil then they decided to move back again.

    In true Portuguese (which is spoken only in Brazil, of course :)), the word "rabugento" means "chato pra car***"! LOL
    According to one research (edition.cnn.com/travel/article/coolest-nationalities/index.html), Brazilians are "the coolest people on the planet". So either it is not true or I'm not even Brazilian. Anyway, most of what you've read about the Portuguese in the video would apply to Brazilians as well.
    A curious fact: I don't get a thing of what you say when you say a word or phrase in Portuguese in your videos until I rewind and listen to it again! This is common when we Brazilians hear Portuguese people speaking fast. I therefore think you're a typical Portuguese person :D :D :D

      I live in Australia where we have lots of people from all over Portugal and Madeira and there is absolutely no difference ....can’t say there are more pale skin or light eyed people from the north.
      I’m going to mention particularly people from the Algarve country towns of Salir / Alte and surrounding areas, which was once inhabited by the Celts. I personally know lots of people from there and most are fair skin and blue eyed.
      Algarvios might appear dark and that’s because generally they are tanned due to all that sunshine in the south compared to northern Portugal.

Blending the old "farmer" tradition of having two first names (first letter of each name corresponds with the first letters of two grandparents), with the old "aristocrat" tradition with two surnames (important family names)(or a result of feminism, where the mothers surname is inherited by the child, along with the fathers surname). Two or three names is more common. I only have two. You got "yes" on you test, but can you at the same time be a typical Norwegian?? You should find out ;)
