A pair of identical twins have decided to lead identical lives – they even work together as air hostesses.
Not only is it hard to tell Anna and Laura Perry, from Birmingham, England, apart but they also like the same food, clothes, car and opt to work the same shifts at work.
"We chose to dress the same most of the day as we love being identical twins and being approached by strangers who are baffled by our similarities,” the twins say.
"We even love the same food and interests so you'll often find us snacking on the same things and shopping together."
The twins, who are both 23, claim passengers at Virgin Atlantic are always left baffled by their likeness.
"We rarely do anything without each other and we are definitely identical in every single way.
"When we both decided to apply to work for Virgin Atlantic we both said we wouldn't accept the job unless the other twin got [it] too.
"Being air hostesses together is a dream come true and people are always asking us if they're seeing double, which is funny.
"They’ll say things like, 'I swear I just saw you down the end of the plane. How did you get here so quickly?'
"It's amazing being able to share everything together as we're best friends and enjoy exactly the same things,” they say.
Anna and Laura – who both still live at home – swop shifts with other crew members to ensure they’re on the same flights.
"We love flying together as we're able to travel the world with each other and share the most amazing experiences,” Anna says.
"We love visiting San Francisco and seeing all the sights on our days off.
"Me and Laura are basically the exact same person, and when wearing our uniforms it's crazy how many people approach us about being twins.
"We love all of the attention being identical twins brings and we feel so lucky to have our dream job together too.
"Growing up we've always been very similar and although we can tell physical differences between us, most people can't."
The pair have recently started documenting their identical lives and daily adventures on social media.
"We noticed other twins on Instagram setting up pages about their identical lives so we decided to do the same,” Anna says.
"We only recently set up 'twinsworldtravels' on Instagram but the main purpose of it is so we can look back on our travels together.
"We've been to some amazing locations in the past two years with Virgin. A lot of them tend to be US based.
"We're both having the time of our lives and it's even more special being able to share it all with Laura.
"If anyone doesn't understand why we enjoy dressing and leading the same lives we just say, 'It's a twin thing’."
