If you have ever travelled anywhere, we are fairly certain you have taken some photos. How do you back up your photos and videos while you are travelling? Is that actually possible or do you just hope nothing happens before you get back home? Join Fiona Staff and Chantal Imbach as they answer these and other important questions.

How can we back up photos and videos while we are on a trip? This can pose challenges, especially if there is no internet connection and a cloud-based solution is not an option. Join us and learn about various options for various scenarios.

In this episode we chat about the fun of travelling and the challenges of backing up your photos and videos while on a trip. It is so easy to lose photos or cameras / phones while travelling. We share some backup options that work for various scenarios. The most obvious might be to upload the photos to the cloud; however, depending on where you are travelling, this may not be an option.

Luckily, there are other options that don't necessarily cost the earth and are easy to do, whether you are a backpacker or on a luxury cruise.
