There are some countries that use multiple types of outlets, which means you’ll need to bring more than one adapter.
Mostly, there are two types of outlets in the world: 110/125V and 220/240V. Thus, make sure to check out the tag on your device and compare it to the voltage settings of your travel destination.
This is a really serious matter since a higher voltage may lead your device to burn, and a lower one may cause it damage and lower its performance. Also, try to purchase a converter that will help you convert the voltage to be compatible with your device settings.

Sometimes, when we wish to travel overseas, we make sure to do everything right: we check out the best online travel booking sites for inexpensive short or long-haul flights tickets, we make sure to purchase traveling health insurance and try to have a thorough baggage packing.
However, there are many times when we forget to check the most important thing: our passports. Imagine going through all of these steps to find out that your passport is not valid; we bet it is going to be a disaster.
Even though there are many countries that don’t require you to have a passport valid for a period of six months, there are some who insist on it; and we insist on it too.
Travelling is full of unexpected events, you may be taking the plane to a certain country and then -for some unfortunate circumstances- your flight has to be diverted to another country.
If this country has a strict passport policy, then you’ll be stuck at the airport unable to check in to the hotel you were offered. In addition, make sure to always carry a certified copy of your passport, or keep a picture on your cellphone in case it got lost.
Visa Requirements

Being an adventurer with a trekking backpack is not enough sometimes to get you through the airport’s security. There are many countries that require a visa to visit them.
therefore, make sure you check specialized websites to see if you must apply for a visa or any other type of administrative procedures before taking the airplane. There are even some countries that impose fees upon arrival in the airport; these charges are referred to as visa fees.
