The experience

"Is that my name?" I squinted at the sign, half-awake after the flight, and there was Markus, grinning like he’d been waiting for an old friend. Zurich Airport felt extra bright that morning, all glass and polished floors, but honestly I was just relieved not to have to figure out the trains or drag my suitcase around. Markus waved off my apology for being slow (I always overpack), grabbed my bag like it weighed nothing, and led me through arrivals toward the parking garage. The air outside had that clean Swiss chill. You know, the kind that wakes you up better than coffee.

The Mercedes van was spotless inside, smelled faintly of lemon wipes (not overpowering), and there were little bottles of water tucked in the cup holders. I noticed hand sanitizer on the seat too: small detail but it made me feel looked after. Markus chatted about Zurich’s weather (apparently rain is good luck for arrivals?), and pointed out where locals go for coffee as we drove into the city. It was quiet except for his low playlist of Swiss radio: mostly soft talk and a bit of jazz. I kept thinking how different this felt from those rushed shuttle rides in other cities. Here, nobody seemed in a hurry to push you out.

We reached my hotel in maybe twenty minutes? Hard to say. I lost track watching trams glide past and people cycling in scarves. Markus opened the door before I could even reach for it, handed me my bag with a nod, and said something in Swiss German that I probably misunderstood but made me smile anyway. There’s something about arriving somewhere new when someone’s actually waiting for you: makes all the difference. I still think about how calm that first hour in Zurich felt.
