Fiorella: my goosebump moment is the song “Caminar de tu mano” by Río Roma. It really represents the love story that my grandparents had, it is something I have always loved. Especially the part that says “A wise man once told me, when you like someone, look at their hands because as time goes by you will kiss less and hold hands more.” It is something that reminds me of them.

Rolien: my goosebump moment was when I discovered remote work. At the end of 2020 I lost my job as a teacher. I didn’t know what to do. But then I discovered remote work and I decided to give it a try. I can honestly say that remote work has saved me and my family.

Valerie: my goosebump moment was when the bikers’ community in Windhoek, Namibia, got together to pray for doctors, nurses and patients at hospitals. These bikers were from all cultures, races and colours. You could see people crying, hugging and even smiling, people had hope again. This is a message for all the world to see. People, go out, be kind, love each other.

Joyce: my goosebump moment was when I saw Victoria Falls for the very first time. The locals there call it Mosi-oa-Tunya: the smoke that thunders. It is an amazing place to be. You can actually feel it, you can actually hear the thundering of water as it hits down the bottom of the gorge and when you behold the falls, I cannot even describe the feeling.

Huwaida: my goosebump moment was when I came home and caught sight of my niece who was colouring. When she heard me, she looked up, and when she saw me, her smile just spread. It was beaming and genuine. I stood there stunned, captivated by the sheer presence of that smile. It was so amazing. I never felt more accepted and loved in my life.

Ruth: my goosebump moment was in high school when one of my mentors mentioned that “a short pencil is better than a long memory”. That stuck with me, it changed my life forever! I began writing things down and noticed that whenever I wrote a plan or goal down, I knew that at the end of the day I was going to fulfil it because I had written it down. It is very important!

Stella: I get goosebumps when I listen to Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi’s song “Neria”. Mtukudzi was Zimbabwe’s greatest musician. This song also featured in a movie called “Neria”, the best ever produced movie in Zimbabwe. It is about a woman who loses her husband in a car accident. The husband’s brother takes the inheritance and leaves this widow and her kids with nothing. It is very emotional.

Chimoso: my goosebump moment was when I watched “Black Panther” for the first time. Seeing all the cultures, the clothes, the hair represented according to different African cultures, tribes and ethnicities and Chadwick Boseman and the other actors representing black people. Feeling seen and heard and so proud to be black! A time for a black person to be a superhero!

Ahmet: my goosebump moment was when I saw the underground lake Kow-Ata. The lake is in the cave at the depth of 60 meters. In the cave, there is a staircase that leads downwards to the water and when you look up, there are a lot of bats and you feel like you are in a movie.

Carol: my goosebump moment was when my partner and I went sailing next to the southeast coast of Alaska. When we anchored our boat, we saw a huge whitish spot in the water. To our surprise there were millions and millions of jellyfish, all sizes, floating around. The water was just filled with them. It was so crazy and beautiful.

Erin: my goosebump moment was when I watched Jane Marczewski sing on America’s Got Talent. She teaches us we should always be thankful in our life, whatever situation we face and that you can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore to be happy.. She is a cancer patient, but she proves that she is more than her cancer. I love her personality, positivity and her perspective about life.

Nisa: my goosebump moment is the song “Eyes, Nose, Lips” from Taeyang. It was my first Korean song and the first time I heard it, I got chills because of the melody, because of the singing and because of Taeyang’s amazing voice. It’s a song you can relate to. Even if I didn’t understand the language, music is universal.

Shasenem: my goosebump moment was the trip to Darvaza in the middle of Karakum Desert. They call it “The Door to Hell”. That was really impressive because this gas crater has been burning for almost 50 years and people don’t know how long it will continue to burn. It was really amazing to see what Mother Nature created. It really is a must-see!

Cristhel: my goosebump moment was when I was driving my car and when I heard the song “Driver’s License” by Olivia Rodrigo. This song talks about what we all have felt once in a life: a heartbreak. I felt everything that she was saying, the lyrics were so indescribable.

Gin: my goosebump moment was in 2007 when The Dark Portal was launched in “World of Warcraft”. A very exciting memory to be with all the people who played in one place, waiting for a single event, the incredible cinematics that happened and this whole new world of incredible experiences that we were going to live.

Vusala: my goosebump moment was when I visited the Stephansplatz. It is a square surrounding Stephansdom, the huge cathedral that dominates the pedestrianised area of Vienna’s center. The cathedral dates back to the 12th century and it’s a treasure trove of secrets. It is an example of how old and modern architecture can mix harmoniously.

Sonya: my goosebump moment is when I travel. I really like traveling to new destinations and exploring new countries. I feel really excited when I board a plane and head to my next destination, as it gives me the opportunity to explore new places, meet new people, discover new cultures and traditions. I had the opportunity to visit several countries and it was a wonderful experience.

Hina: my goosebump moment was when I held my daughter after giving birth to her. She was my first child and when I held her in my arms, I had goosebumps all over my body. Seeing such a tiny human being, who is completely dependent on me, changed my whole perspective of being alive. Carrying her for 9 months and seeing that face completely blew me away.
