Interview – Dave Carlson

http://ecelaspanish.com/entrevistas/david-carlson-interview.mp3

david-carlson3David Carlson, of Las Vegas, Nevada, is a retired risk-taker and someone who thinks outside the box.

He decided to curb his boredom and attend a Spanish immersion program in Santiago and Viña del Mar, Chile.

David has tips to make the most out of your Spanish program, how he keeps (incredibly) active as a retiree, and he is very encouraging to anyone who is looking to get off their couch and into the South American culture.
