Hey everybody, it’s Erica from America, your favorite flight attendant! Today, I’m reflecting on the holidays and why I didn’t receive a desired “christmas present.” It all comes down to “gift giving” and specifically not asking for “cool tech” items over a certain price point. I also mention handling a laptop cooler, which ties into the discussion on “tech gifts” and overall “gift ideas.”
___________________________Long Description_______________
Ever wonder what a flight attendant carries for tech while traveling? ✈️
Today I’m opening my travel tech bag and showing you what I actually use as someone who works three jobs: flight attendant, researcher (work-from-anywhere), and content creator.
I spend a ton of time in airports, hotel rooms, and deadheading—so my setup is all about being prepared, staying entertained, and making work easier on the road.
In this video you’ll see:
✅ My travel filming setup (mics + phone tools)
✅ My “hotel TV survival kit” (yes… including the secret weapon)
✅ The tech that helps me work in the crew room & hotel rooms
✅ My favorite travel audio + charging setup
✅ The ONE travel item I’m obsessed with
📌 I’m not sponsored—these are just the items I personally use, and I’ll include links for anyone who asks.
💬 Question for you: What’s your #1 favorite thing you travel with and why?
