Most modern electronics (laptops, phone chargers) are dual voltage (100-240V). Look for "INPUT: 100-240V" on the power supply label.

An adapter changes the plug shape. A converter changes the voltage. Most travelers only need adapters for dual-voltage devices.

If visiting multiple countries, consider a universal travel adapter that works in 150+ countries with multiple plug configurations.

Hair dryers and straighteners often aren't dual voltage. Consider buying local versions or using hotel-provided appliances.
