If you could experience an extended stay in a foreign Country, where would you go and what cultural aspects attract you to your destination?

R Dub! Z90: I love this question! I quit my job with Clear Channel in 2007 to move to Brazil and do Slow Jams from the beach…literally! It was so rad! Now that I’m back in The States, if I left again it would be for Indonesia or Philippines. I love how friendly the people there are, especially toward Americans. I also love the landscape, especially the beaches; and our money goes a long way on both places. They also have a huge love for Slow Jams! By the way, I’m currently on a mission to see all 193 countries on the planet—I’m currently at 142/193—see the adventures on my Instagram: @slowjams

Java Joel, WAKS: England would be cool. I hear the food sucks, but the I’d like to hit up the record shops.

Jagger, WKSS: London, England. First and foremost, I can speak and understand the language, plus I’m a big fan history, and the historical aspects of that city and country would be fascinating.

Josh Wolff, WAEB: The Bahamas because the weather’s always great! It would probably be a very extended stay.

Ally Reid, WFLY: Italy, I haven’t been there yet and I always hear great things about the entire country.

Matt Johnson, KSLZ: Florence, Italy for the food and rolling hills

Kobe, @kobeontheradio: The United Kingdom for its nightlife and club scene. It’s all about the music with me!

 

Fish, WKRZ: Aruba! The geographic location, the food and the lifestyle…I’d probably never come back.

Joey Broooks, iHeartMedia: I’ve always wanted to try Toronto. Heard it’s nice.

Jammer, WEZB: Amsterdam because prostitution is legal. Responding for a friend!

 

Eliott King, Q102: Australia. Have you seen them kangaroos?!?! It just seems dangerous!

Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: Either Australia or Italy. Australia has such a carefree vibe in the culture there, plus there a lot of really great outdoor stuff which is my thing. I can just go to Italy and do nothing but just eat food for weeks on end. Also, the history of that country fascinates me, especially due to the fact that I’m a big Freemason and Illuminati buff, and the Illuminati history behind Italy really captivates me.

Jeremy Rice, WBLI: Not fair! So many countries. I know that Copenhagen is the PERFECT city (Demark), and I could stay forever in the United Kingdom because I have family there and the UK is just freaking amazing.

Mase, CD1025: Australia! But if I ever go it will have to be for a long time. That’s just too far to sit on a plane for a weekend trip. I’m thinking 4-8 months. And of course, to see the birthplace of Yahoo Serious and Paul Hogan is the natural attraction for going.

Valentine, WBHT: Anywhere but China! I’d go to Amsterdam!

Max Volume, KOZZ: I’d love to program a rock station in eastern Europe!

Sassy, WKXJ: South Korea, because I’m a K-POP bitch and this K-POP bitch wants to be in South Korea! Plus, I’ve been studying and learning the Korean language for the past year, which is a super-complicated language to learn, read and write. But I’ve been definitely making progress.

Jordan, KSLZ: Send me to Northern Italy…Bologna…the Emilia-Romagna region. Incredible cuisine. Obviously, a tour of the entire boot would be in order, but spending a fair amount of time in the North would be quite the experience.

John Reynolds, WNKS: The Bahamas because of the beach and the overall island atmosphere…plus I can easily fly there!

Todd Shannon, WAPE: St. Martin’s in the Virgin Islands. The fishing, the lifestyle, it’s laid back and it’s a beautiful island. I go down there and find island 92 and just have myself some fun!

Mike “OD” O’Donnell, WKRZ: Definitely Italy, and it would have to be a long-extended stay! I’d do Venice, Rome, Sicily, and everything in between. Half of the roots of my family are Italian, and it doesn’t hurt that I love pasta.

Rick Vaughn, KENZ: Santorini, Greece for the food…and Italy for that matter as well. Definitely it would be a southern Mediterranean destination.

Bob Patrick, WXLK: Australia. Everything I’ve ever seen or read about that country is beautiful. Certainly hoping for the best for them after those horrific fires.
