What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed when we landed in Helsinki was how quiet the airport felt — almost like someone had turned down the volume on the world. Our driver, Jari, was waiting right where he said he’d be, holding a little sign (my name spelled perfectly, which honestly surprised me). He greeted us in English but switched to Finnish for a quick joke with another driver — I caught maybe two words. The car smelled faintly of eucalyptus, or maybe that was just my imagination after the flight.

I’d worried about our bags (we’re not light packers), but Jari checked them over and just nodded — “Six medium? No problem.” He did mention that if we’d brought any more, we’d need a bigger car. I appreciated the honesty; it felt like he’d seen every kind of luggage chaos before. Bottled water was waiting for us in the backseat, cold enough to leave condensation rings on the leather. The WiFi worked right away — my partner immediately started uploading photos from the plane window.

Driving into Helsinki city from the airport is only about 30 minutes, but it’s enough time to notice how green everything is. Jari pointed out a few landmarks as we passed (I tried repeating one street name and he laughed — apparently my pronunciation needs work). The ride was smooth and quiet except for a bit of rain tapping at the windows. For some reason, that moment — just watching droplets race each other down the glass while someone else handled everything — stuck with me more than I expected.
