You need to check the specific Country plug configuration before purchasing an adapter. Also, will you be taking a hair dryer or curling iron? Most hotels have hair dryers, but few have curling irons. If you are using a hair dryer or curling iron, make sure the adapter you purchase has the correct conversion for this high level of power draw. There are different styles of adapters you can use. Here are some options:

For one item that covers many places: CLICK HERE

If you are a tight packer like me, you might want a set with individual plugs for each location. This way, you only take the one you need. Here is a kit option: CLICK HERE

I usually travel with a money pouch. Carrying a purse is not only cumbersome when walking a lot, but they attract pick pockets. You can get a money pouch that is comfortable for you. Keep in mind, they will only do you good if they are carried under your clothes, so pick comfortable. I use a waist pouch because I don't like the string on my neck, but many people love a neck pouch. Keep in mind the pocket size being big enough for a passport. There are a lot of choices. Here are some:

TSA only allows liquids in 3 oz containers, and for most European countries all liquids must fit in a small zip lock baggie or a travel case that is equivalent size. I suggest the soft plastic bottles compared to hard plastic. I have had the hard plastic ones break, and that wasn't real fun to clean out of all my clothes upon arriving. Here are some options:

While it seems silly to take a smaller hair brush, I try to save every inch and pound I can. Here are some compact hair brush options. I have tried all of them, and rotate between them based on where I am going and what my needs will be.

​

For long hair and humid weather, this is my favorite because it is like a standard brush just smaller: CLICK HERE

​

For short trips, this is my favorite because I can slip it into my TSA liquids bag: CLICK HERE

​

For a medium length trip, I use this one because it is still compact, but is more normal brush like: CLICK HERE

I don't know about you, but I get motion sick. If I want to sleep an entire long flight, I use Dramamine. If I want to only be lightly drowsy, I use Bonine because it isn't as strong as Dramamine, but is affective. Here are some links:
