How do New York Times journalists use technology in their jobs and in their personal lives? Jada Yuan, who is crisscrossing the globe as The Times’s 52 Places Traveler, discussed the tech she’s using.

You are endlessly traveling, and you must have to pack light. What are the most crucial tech tools that you pack?

Funny thing is, I’d be traveling much lighter if I weren’t dragging around so much tech!

Because I’m carting all my own stuff and moving every four or five days, I have to think a lot about size and weight. My MacBook Pro and iPhone X are essentials, as are a Bluetooth keyboard (which I hook up to my phone to write articles when I don’t have my computer), a 2TB hard drive, and a USB-C dongle with multiple USB ports and an SD card reader.

I adore my Sony RX100 V point-and-shoot camera, which Todd Heisler, one of The Times’s Pulitzer Prize-winning staff photographers, chose for me. It’s tiny, drop proof (so far!) and especially good in low-light conditions. For video, I don’t go anywhere without a Rode Lavalier (an external microphone for noisy environments) and my DJI Osmo Mobile gimbal, a stabilizer that helps me take really smooth shots on my phone while walking (or riding a horse).
