I am just wondering if I will attract alot of attention in Germany and Italy, because when I went to Russia and the Ukraine last year people kept looking at me, people were trying to talk to me, and one weird guy took a picture of me ?! I was kind of freaked out and confused. So I was just wondering how people in Germany and Italy act since I have never been there and I will be going there this summer.
About Me:
-19(Age)
-5'8(Height)
-Thin
-French,Swedish, Brazilian, African, and Irish(Background)
-I loooooooooove traveling
Questions:
-How can I avoid attention ?
-Why do people act this why, I wasn't offended or anything but I am just curious ?
Thank You for your help :)

No one was cursing me out in Russian or anything but people were trying to talk to me, which didn't bother me at all, but everyone looking at me was freaking me out, it was just really weird?!

I don't think it's your looks as much as it is your actions that may make you stand out. You should attempt to learn some of the language, at least some basic phrases to get you around. I used to live in Germany, and I don't really see why you would stand out, except as a tourist, if that is how you appear. Just try to act natural and comfortable and it should help you blend in.

You should give the percentages in each background. And what do you mean by "Brazilian"? Don't you know that Brazil is a multiracial country? White Brazilian? Black Brazilian? Mixed Brazilian? Pelé or Gisele Bundchen? That makes a difference
Anyway, unlike Russia and Ukraine there are lots of immigrants in France and Germany, so if you're different they will think you're an immigrant and will not stare at you cause there are lots of immigrants there.

Most likely the same way cuz they are not accustomed to see people of mixed races. I'm from Puerto Rican, French and Spaniard decent and when I went to London, it was actually the opposite. But I know in Russia you must of looked like an oddity. they don't get many mixed people up there. but don't worry unless they get violent or start calling you names.

try not to look American. by this I mean wear black pants, black shoes, dont speak a lot of English, don't wear shirts that have brand names on them, dont wear hoodies, try to dress on the fancier side. dont be taking lots of pictures, dont do things a typical American would do. Don't wear a baseball cap or cowboy hat.
im not saying you would but maybe they could tell you were American and wanted to kno what its like living in America.
im going to Italy soon to live. so im trying to consider all these things. dont be surprised if Italians are overly confident and try to make a pass at you.

Well, I guess you must be very beautiful. The Italians will be at your feet, especially in Rome. If they are attracted to a girl, you've got an army behind you. Observations from when I was there.
