Traveling Europe 101: Electronics

If you plan to bring electronics that will require an electrical outlet, a European Outlet Adapter will be needed. Check the voltage ratings on the electronics you plan to bring. Nowadays, most electronics are capable of handling 220 V, if not, a converter will be needed.

Most hostels accommodate Wi-Fi, so bringing a lap top is a definite option. If you are planning to bring a digital camera and are concerned oh how much memory to bring, there are several options:

1. Buy more memory cards
2. If you plan to bring your laptop, transfer your files to your laptop
3. Use a digital camera backup device such as CLICK HERE
4. Go to a camera shop and have them transfer your digital files to a CD. Most metropolitan areas will have camera shops that can accommodate this task.
