Two Total Strangers Find Their ‘Identical Twin’ While Studying In Germany

Two total strangers have discovered they are lookalikes while studying abroad in Germany.

Doppelgängers Ciara Murphy, from Wexford in Ireland, and Cordelia Roberts, from Britain, met on a study programme in Bremem and the resemblance is uncanny.

The pair are not related yet look almost exactly alike, causing them to be dubbed “the twins” among their fellow students

The girls’ story has been recorded by Twin Strangers, a website which puts people together who aren’t related but look identical.

Each suspected they had a lookalike shortly after arriving in Bremen.

“When I was going on nights out, people were starting to ask me did I come here with a sister, or a twin,” Ciara told Twin Strangers.

“I didn’t know what they were talking about in the beginning.”

However, the two students finally crossed each other paths and took a selfie for the occasion. The photo was shared widely across Facebook and Twin Strangers got in touch.

The pair have become close friends and are known on campus as “the twins”.

Ciara’s friend Jessica said: “They’re always together now, they’re like a package deal. They have this bond now, just because they look the same.”
