Worldwide, there are three major socket outlet standards. US, European and English.
This disparity is the result of a complex combination of historical, cultural, geographical, economic and technical factors specific to each region of the world.
If you want to know more about it...
When I was a kid, I remember seeing my father searching through a multitude of adapters to find the right one for the country we were going to visit. He was very dedicated to this. Not wanting to be bothered with all that, I went in search of a universal adapter as soon as I had to leave the borders of Europe.
With the universal adapter I found, I stopped worrying about power outlets. No need to search desperately for the right adapter in a foreign country: a single adapter can adapt to all outlets, allowing you to charge your devices with complete peace of mind.
Multi-socket
Having a universal adapter is great, but to be able to recharge the multitude of electronic equipment we carry with us every day when traveling, it's a good idea to have a power strip with you.
That way, you can recharge all your devices simultaneously.
Charging cables and charger
Do we really need to point out that you should always take cables to make it easier to recharge your devices?
Personally, I use a 2m cable that's in my backpack, with me; while I leave a 3m-long cable at the hotel or apartment. This gives me redundancy and sufficient cable length.
Nowadays, when I'm out and about, I'm never without my external battery, especially since I have an aging cell phone. It's always in my backpack.
Coupled with a 2m USB cable, I use it to recharge my cell phone or my battery shell.
The one I'm currently using is pretty solid and can do between 3 and 4 full recharges of my phone.
Attention, elle est certes de dimensions et poids assez imposants, mais elle permet de se balader en toute autonomie et de recharger un à deux appareils électroniques rapidement. Par contre, elle n'est pas à mettre dans sa poche de pantalon, mais bien dans un sac à dos.
Batterie case
When you need to travel light but still be able to recharge your cell phone, a battery cover is a very practical solution. It avoids having wires sticking out of your pocket, as well as an external battery damaging your pants.
If you're ever abroad on a date or at a festival, it's best to use a battery cover.
What's more, you'll be less likely to be noticed by potential pickpockets.
Bien que cela puisse sembler superflu, devoir garder son téléphone dans les mains constamment est fatiguant et peut abîmer nos précieuses cervicales. Que je sois chez moi, ou bien en balade, j'utilise un support pour téléphone portable, ou "porte-téléphone".
A vrai dire, j'utilise ce genre de support aussi bien chez moi que lorsque je suis en déplacement. Cela ne coûte que quelques grammes, mais cela apporte un certain confort.
Even if the cloud does exist, unfortunately it's not always available when you're on the move. What's more, when photos and videos are saved on the cloud, they are compressed, somewhat distorting image quality.
Maybe it's a professional deformation, maybe I'm just a little anxious, but I like to have several types of back-up for my films and images. To this end, I take with me a compact, light and fast SSD, with a transfer speed of almost 1Gb and, above all, connectable to my cell phone.
N.B.: I may be using an Android, but the SSD in question also supports IOS.
This Samsung SSD is small, light, high-capacity, fast and compact, and will fit easily into your luggage.
Bonus...
Sure, it's not exactly digital, but you can't forget the essentials: umbrella and sunglasses. These are the two accessories that never leave my backpack when I'm on vacation. I've had them since I lived in Bordeaux, where it was not uncommon (to put it mildly) for it to rain and shine several times in the same day between September and May.
Since then, I've kept my habits, and they've come in very handy, especially in countries close to the tropics.
In addition, don't forget to take essential medicines and hygiene products with you, such as paracetamol, ultra-levures and hydro-alcoholic gel.
