The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the sound of sandals slapping tile as we came out of Salvador’s arrivals — it’s always a little chaotic, but there was my name on a sign, right where they said. Our driver, Marcos, gave a quick wave and a smile that felt almost like relief. He spoke Portuguese mostly, but honestly, gestures and a few words go far when you’re tired from flying. The air outside was thick and warm, that salty Atlantic smell mixing with diesel from the taxis lined up.

I’d worried about finding the right van (there are so many), but their little airport store is tucked at the end of the hallway past domestic arrivals — I peeked in just to check. Marcos loaded our bags with this practiced gentleness; he even helped an older woman fold her stroller. The van itself smelled faintly of lemon-scented cleaner (not bad) and the AC was already running. We shared the ride with two other travelers headed into Salvador’s center — one guy kept trying to guess which neighborhood we were passing by looking at the street art. I just watched palm trees flicker by through foggy glass.

There’s something about arriving somewhere new at night — city lights bouncing off wet pavement, windows open just enough to let in voices from outside. I didn’t expect to feel so calm after all that travel, but maybe it was knowing someone else had the logistics handled. When we pulled up at our hotel, Marcos double-checked our names before unloading bags (he even made sure my backpack wasn’t left behind). Not every transfer feels this easy. I still think about how simple it was compared to some airport scrambles I’ve had elsewhere.
