Case Study: Vagamundos achieves reliable global connectivity and remote travel blogging with BlackBerry

Carlos Olmo travels the world with his BlackBerry smartphone

Carlos Olmo is a professional traveller and travel blogger who documents trips to more than 100 countries across sites like Vagamundos.net and Patrimonio-humanidad.com. Traveling half the year and often visiting remote or harsh environments, he needed an affordable, reliable way to stay in touch, manage online content and capture and share stories from wherever he was—while also relying on long battery life and rugged hardware.

Since 2007 Olmo has used a BlackBerry smartphone with apps like BBM and WordPress plus travel tools (GPS, QR readers, weather, booking apps) to handle voice, email, instant messaging and remote blog management. The result: consistent data access even in places like the Sahara, durable hardware and day‑long battery life in challenging conditions, fast photo/video uploads to social sites, and uninterrupted contact with family, followers and collaborators.
