    Central Europe, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe.

    But maybe I would pass as an atypical German? I mean anyone who has seen my pics and lives or has visited Deutschland can tell it. If that swarthy Hummels is German, then I can be.

    Your features are too alien to pass for German in my opinion.

    You can pass in Croatia, but you would probably be guessed as Italian

    I don't remember much how you look like but if you are dinaro-CM+pontid, you cannot pass in Portugal but you can pass as Basque in Spain

    I couldn't pass as a local in Southern Europe.
    I am not sure about Western Europe but I think I could only pass as a local in Germany and probably only in Germany (especially Eastern Germany which has some Slavic influence).
    I know I can pass as a local in Northeastern Europe though. I've been to Lviv and locals spoke to me in Ukrainian few times because they thought I was Ukrainian. I've also been to Riga just recently and one person spoke to me in Latvian at the airport.
    No way a similar thing would happen in Italy or Greece. Even in Croatia they thought I was Russian

    How do you look? You can probably pass as a local (maybe as atypical) in all of Northern and Central Europe.

    I think I can only pass in Turkey, Caucasus, Northern Iran, Eastern Balkans and Greece.
