Adapters and ConvertersTravelers abroad often assume they need to add a small, but weighty, converter to their packing list, but a converter often isn’t required. Why? Well, first, a quick vocabulary lesson: Converter: this little box actually converts the voltage of the appliance or electronic item from your country’s typical voltage to that of the country you are visiting. The USA, most of the Americas, and Japan operate on 110/120 voltage. Most of the world, however, runs on 220/240, to include Europe, Africa, Australia, and most Asian countries. If you haven’t flown abroad lately—or ever—you might feel a little confused about the regulations for flying to or within your international destination. Keep these pointers in mind, and you’ll do fine
