Questions

Which plug adapter do I need for travel?

It depends on the country you visit, not on where you live. Find the country below to see its plug type and voltage, or use the plug and voltage finder to compare your own country with the one you are going to.

Is a travel adapter the same as a voltage converter?

No. An adapter only changes the shape of the plug. A converter changes the voltage. Most phone and laptop chargers accept 100 to 240 V and only need an adapter.
