Randy Yagi is the owner of this travel website or travel blog if you wish. He is an award-winning travel writer who served as the National Travel Writer for CBS Local from 2012-2019. However, he now writes exclusively for his travel blog, www.trendingtravel.org  On the other hand, more than 900 of his travel stories still appear in syndication across 23 CBS websites. For instance, you can still read his travel stories on CBS New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and San Francisco. Even further, you can find his stories on CBS Seattle, Detroit, Dallas and Atlanta. Of course, he’s also on CBS DC, Philadelphia, Boston, Tampa, Miami and Cleveland. In other words, his stories appear on nearly every major market in America.

Digital Media

In addition to a degree in Digital Media, he has degrees in Economics and Liberal Studies. However, his career  breakthrough was his work at Stanford University. While he was the Silicon Valley rep for Examiner.com and senior staff writer for Milpages, he earned a Media Fellowship at Stanford in 2012. During his residence on campus, he stayed at the Stanford Faculty Club and had his own office. If that’s not enough, he was also given a very generous stipend to offset his expenses during his tenure. In all, it was his work with Examiner.com and the military website for veterans that secured the media fellowship.

Natchez Democrat Story

Excerpt from a November 2017 story in the Natchez, Mississippi Democrat:

“Few people in Natchez know Randy Yagi.

Thanks to the west coast travel writer, now millions of people may know more about Natchez.

Yagi’s article reporting from his three-day trip to Natchez is being seen in San Francisco, Portland, Chicago and 20 other CBS outlets across the country.

The exposure is just what Natchez needs, public relations expert Lou Hammond told the Natchez-Adams County Chamber of Commerce Tourism Council Monday.

‘One man, three days, 23 outlets with a reach of 489 million people’,. Hammond said. “That is the power of syndication.”
