When Renée Rivard was going through her second divorce, something clicked inside her. She was living in San Diego at the time and she was just working to make a living. She decided it was time for her to move and get a different kind of scenery. As someone who loves nature and has always wanted to learn Spanish, she decided to move right into the rainforests of Panama.
