The Best Travel Adapters That Will Make Things Work Abroad

Taking time to experience a new culture also means you'll need to find a way to make what you bring with you work with the infrastructure of this new place — which is exactly what makes a travel adapter such an essential product to have during your travels abroad.

Whether your plan involves backpacking across multiple countries or a long stay in a single international destination, it's essential to pack a travel adapter that works specifically for your destination (or one that offers universal options) in your luggage. Not doing much travel yourself? These simple, affordable adapters also make great gifts for the globetrotters in your life.

Obviously, it's important to know what you need for where you're going to be, so for more information on travel adapters and which countries use which plugs, check out this handy guide from REI here.
