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.

Lazar: my goosebump moment is the sound barrier being broken by basketball fans in the Belgrade Arena. I went to my first big basketball game as a fan in the Euroleague. In the Arena, everything was full of energy. The game did not even start, and the fans were cheering and shouting. The players came in and everybody was so loud that you could not hear the national anthem. It was officially the sound barrier being broken.

Ashwin: my goosebump moment was when I truly realized the scale of the universe. My teacher talked about stars and planets and how big they are compared to earth.

It’s mind boggling that one cannot really comprehend the true scale of the universe no matter how hard they try.

Yes, it is just crepes, but I ate it when my plane was postponed, I was far from my family, my country, and I really missed them. After eating it, I felt very cozy and I was at home. Happiness is not about what you eat or where you are, it is about what you feel in your heart.

He proves it by analyzing a scenario on the other side of the road, where a car would hit a taxi from behind because the driver was very distracted, and 10 seconds later, it happens. That is how smart he grew in the movie.

Anita: my goosebump moment is the first time visiting the Great Wall of China. The movies do not prepare you for how long the wall is, the amount of walking you have to do, and how many people, especially tourists go and visit the place. Aside from that, it is beautiful. It is an amazing view, and it is just shocking to see how many people go there every year just to visit it despite the circumstances.

As a young basketball player, it really inspired me to keep on working hard and working towards my dreams because I can achieve anything that I put my mind to.

Eminem, one of the greatest rappers of all time performing “Lose Yourself”, one of the greatest hits of all time at the Oscars, which is basically meant for actors only. I get the chills every time I see it.

Me being a Spanish speaking person, English being my second language and I had to go to high school in America.

Naeem: my goosebump moment is a hill next to our beautiful city Buja that my family and I go to whenever anyone is stressed, worried or for just about anything.

Especially during these difficult uncertain times.

Leticia: my goosebump moment was when I heard Jordan Smith sing for the very first time on “The Voice”. He sang “Chandelier” by Sia and the first time I heard him sing, I thought he was a woman. The fact that he had struggled with body image and had been bullied because of his size and was still able to sing his lungs out shows that anyone could do anything.

Irina: my goosebump moment was Christmas when I was with my family and other children. They told us to hide in a room because Santa Claus would arrive with the presents.

Jesús: my goosebump moment my trip with co-workers in Colombia and we went hiking in the rainforest close to Minca, in Santa Marta. It’s a forest with mountains and it’s a very humid forest.

We also saw the greenness of the forest, the mountains, and it was really emotional for all of us.
