The experience

He’s already waiting near the lobby when I drag my suitcase out, just before the sun really starts to heat up. Our driver (I think his name was Daniel) gives a small wave and helps with my bag like he’s done this a thousand times (probably has). There’s something about the way he checks if I’ve forgotten anything that feels more like a cousin than a stranger. The van smells faintly of those little pine tree air fresheners, and honestly, it’s cleaner than my own car back home.

I sink into the seat and watch the palms flick by as we leave the hotel behind. It’s quiet at first, just the hum of the engine and Daniel tapping at his phone for directions (even though he clearly knows every shortcut around Guanacaste). He points out a fruit stand on the side of the road: says they have good mangoes if you ever come back. There’s this gentle rhythm to his Spanish, kind of soothing even though I barely catch half of it. The whole ride feels slower than I expected, but in a good way. Maybe it’s just me not wanting to leave yet.

We pull up to Liberia Airport (LIR) right on time: no rush, no fuss. Daniel grabs my bag again and wishes me buen viaje with this easy smile. I fumble for some coins as a tip (always awkward), but he just laughs and shrugs it off. There’s something about being dropped at an airport by someone who actually lives here. It makes saying goodbye feel less abrupt somehow. Still thinking about that quiet drive as I wait in line for security.
