momondo – The DNA Journey feat. Carlos

To celebrate diversity in the world we asked 67 people from all over the world to take a DNA test. It turns out that they have much more in common with other nationalities than they would ever have imagined. In this short film, you can join Carlos on his amazing journey into who he really is.

Let’s Open Our World is an invitation to travel across boundaries, embrace our differences and open our world.

momondo believes that everybody should be able to travel the world, to meet other people, and experience other cultures and religions. Travel opens our minds: when we experience something different, we begin to see things differently.

Let’s connect!

The film was shot in Vega, Copenhagen, Denmark, and directed by Jeppe Rønde.

The entire world had a baby...how beautiful he is. <3

[amyblessinger]

Chills when he said, " I am a real man of the world." How exciting and beautiful. Very sweet.

[QueenmeT]

It’s amazing how he actually LOOKS exactly like his DNA results. All of it showed up in his hair, eyes, skin, tone, bone structure. None of it was shocking.

[essenceofsoul]

For those asking why they're crying, it's probably partially because they've been so prejudiced against certain groups of people and now they are faced with the fact that they are part of the group. Kinda screws up your mental a little bit.

[barstarks]

I don't know how he couldn't know he was some mix of African...

[jomaro]

And a fine representation of the world he is, beautiful smile

[haldir]

The guy just discovered Cuba was a colony where slaves from Africa were sent :)

[bafa]

He's 45% European, 35% African, 17% Native American, 2% Middle East, 1% Australian. Pretty cool.

[radrook]

His results are:

45 % Europe
34 % African
17% Native American
2% Middle East
1% Melanesia


total 99%

[TaylorRB]

He's such a beautiful representation of the world

[symonelopez-mondy]

it's weird how he has more European DNA than African but he is dark. this is showing me that we can't go by looks.

[antonyfears]

Cuban is not a race that's your nationality a man-made construct of area or government identification

[Blowupxeslana]

Im Dominican and I love Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Jamaicans, and my Haitians brothers. I think this guy is crazy and doesn't know anything about the culture, we never hate each other, we kept our way of life and maintain a close relation no matter what the governments say

[nadinadia]

Omg!!!!
This is the best of the bestest DNA test of all the times, he surely is the man of the world.

[Xitohan]

"Africa in my heart” ALWAYS!!🇳🇬🙌🏾

[delolaaDML]

He basically has everything in him. Damn, you go boy! Definitely one of the most ethnically diverse individual ever! A good looking man too. AwI swear he's like mostly African. Yay #TeamNigerian.

[jediwarrior]

He's got everything and he's SO beautiful!!

[thedivide]

Really hope they release all of the 67. These were AMAZING! If we keep sharing the fact that we are all so connected we can effectively fight hate in our world. We can realize we are one big interconnected family and finally work together to build a beautiful human race.

[julo]

he's got all the "pretty genes" mixed in one... damn handsome!!

[illas]

I think all the majority of us from the caribbean have spanish/european, native american and african descent in our blood!
Carlos is gorgeous btw... <3
