I was fighting a boss called The Pursuer for several hours, I was struggling a lot, but I got into the zone and when I beat the boss on that mental state, I got some goosebumps that were incredible.

Stuart: my goosebump moment came when I was invited to visit the Mercy Ship, a floating hospital which sails to Africa every year to save many thousands of lives.

Anna: I guess every person has that moment when they realize that everything you did in the past just makes sense now. Every dark moment, every abusive people, and every trauma – it is a blessing. That is what made you who you are. That is why you are standing right here, where you are. That was my goosebump moment.

Pavel: my goosebump moment happened when I first listened to the song called “Xo Tour Life” by Lil Uzi Vert in 2017. The song started so slow so calm but it sounded so nice so I started vibing to it and then the riff came on, the main part of the song I felt massive goosebumps, felt massive hype and started humping really hard to it ever since then I listen to the artist on the daily and I know all of his songs.

Carlos: my goosebump moment came when life showed me a really interesting way out of a slump that I was in. Ladybugs kept showing up randomly, giving me little signs from the universe. I ended up seeing so many beautiful ladybugs, which stand for luck and positivity. After all the signs I ended up becoming a yoga instructor.

Jean Didier: my goosebump moment is a motivational video of Jack Ma. He talks about his history, the difficulties he faced in his life.

Jack Ma fought for his dreams and today, he became the richest man in China.

Nhu: my goosebump moment was when I visited Mauritius back in 2019, before Covid happened. When I went there, I was expecting to see the history, the culture, the mountains, but not the beaches.

The fire was lit and there were various activities like storytelling, dances and songs throughout the whole night.

I went to different provinces of Laos and stayed in the villages to experience the culture and tradition. My experience was so satisfying. The villagers were very happy compared with the city folks and they were very content.

John: my goosebump moment was when we were doing our wedding. I am married to a Kenyan, and in their culture, they normally cover the bride completely and then they line her up with other ladies who are also covered up completely. Then the groom is supposed to select and handpick the right wife or his bride, which is what I was supposed to do. It’s very tricky because if you choose the wrong person, you have to pay a fine. Fortunately, I was able to pick her from a group of around six ladies.

Diego: my goosebump moment was a concert from Jack White, the vocalist of what was The White Stripes in the past.
