Hi, Earbuds1234.

A Lightning to USB-A camera adapter usually only works with dedicated cameras, not devices like iPod. To transfer your photos from your iPod, you will need to connect your iPod to a Mac or PC and transfer them there first. However, given that you don't have a Mac or PC available, I would recommend visiting an Apple Store, where an Apple Genius can help you transfer this data for you. Just try and make sure you bring a cable to connect it to a Mac. You can find your nearest Apple Store by visiting apple.com/retail.
