I do _feel_ european, and I think that's the closest I actually self-identify in some way; but I would also never answer a question like "where are you from?" w

  When someone asks "where are you from", you are usually trying to guess what you can tell them that is most exact which they still know. Usually that's the country. Or if it is a big city (Paris, Berlin or so), you might also tell that, otherwise not. If there is a chance they might not have heard about the country (but quite unlikely, unless it's maybe a small country, and you are in a very different part of the world), then I think Europe might be the best answer. But this is anyway not the same question as "what do you identify with" (at least I would not interpret it that way). You might want to expand by answering that as well though, depending who you speak with.

  I do this sometimes to avoid invoking any stereotypes. Telling someone which country you're from opens you up to "of course that's what an X would say" replies, or worse.
