We all like our gadgets – phones, tablets, fitness watches, ereaders, and often need our laptops for that infrequent business check-in. Stay powered and ready-to-go with a simply travel adapter solution.

Traveling outside your home country may offer a few challenges to maintain the power in these devices if you are not aware of these few simple points:

• Power outlets are most often different when traveling abroad with 110-120V outlets in some countries and 220V outlets and higher in others.
• Some power adapters simply adapt from your new visiting country to your home company without converting the power strength (220V down to 110V) – this can cause some devices a power short.
• Make sure your adapter steps down the voltage (220V to 110V) as well as converts the plugs to your home standard.
• Note many laptop power blocks state they adapt to 110V or 220V through the laptops native power pack – check all device specs before making an assumption.

Our solution - We love the Universal Travel Adapters that adapt to many international power outlets, act as a power step-down device (from 220V to 110V) so your equipment stays safe … and has 4 USB ports for ereaders, tablets and phones … often with a bonus USB-C port. These are available at your local electronics store or easily on amazon and will guarantee your electronics up-time when you need to read at the beach!
