I know it's a good idea to use an external hd at home for back-up regardless, but those of you using an Air--do you travel with an external hard drive as well? Thanks!
No- I have 256 GB drive and it is fine. If you are using a ton of photo space you can also use Google Drive or Dropbox for example.
I do have external drive backup at the office and home as well- do not need when traveling.
