What’s the experience like?

“Welcome to Bali!” That’s the first thing I heard as I stepped out of the arrivals hall at Ngurah Rai International. My name was on a sign, easy to spot even through the shuffle of travelers dragging suitcases and surfboards. Our driver grinned, waving us over, and right away I felt that little rush—finally here, finally real.

The air outside was warm and thick, carrying hints of incense from somewhere nearby. We followed our driver past lines of taxis and into a cool minivan that smelled faintly of lemon-scented wipes. Bottled water waited for us inside (a small detail but honestly so welcome after the flight). The drive to Ubud took about an hour and a half, winding past rice fields and scooters zipping by in every direction. Our driver chatted about local customs and pointed out which roadside stalls had the best sate ayam if we got hungry later.

I noticed how the city slowly faded into green hills as we left Denpasar behind. Somewhere around Gianyar, the sun started dipping low—golden light flickering through palm trees. The whole ride felt relaxed; no rush, no confusion about where to go next. By the time we reached our guesthouse in Ubud, I felt like I’d already gotten my first taste of Bali’s rhythm.
