Muriel is more than a host—she is a wanderer of worlds, an explorer who has walked sacred forests, crossed distant lands, and gathered stories from the far corners of the earth. A true seeker, she carries with her the spirit of discovery and the wisdom that every culture, every journey, and every encounter adds another thread to the fabric of life. Having herself been a guest in many places, she knows the quiet magic of feeling truly at home, even far from it. Warm, intuitive, and endlessly curious, Muriel welcomes travelers not just into her tranquil sanctuary, but into an atmosphere of connection, where conversations flow as naturally as the river nearby and every guest leaves with a sense of being part of something timeless.
