(SPOT.ph) A quality travel adapter is as good as your smartphone when traveling abroad. What good would your gadget be if you can't charge it at all? And what good would your navigation and communication with the locals be if you didn’t have your phone? It's going to be downhill from there should your usual adapter is not compatible with the country’s outlets. Either way, if you forgot yours or don't have one, you need to buy if you're planning on going around the world.

ICYDK, there are 15 different plugs and outlets across the world and international adapters exist to help you connect (literally and figuratively) to each and every one of them. If you're going to Australia, for example, they usually have the type I sockets—which is a three-prong plug—different from the type A, B, and C that we usually use here. How would your usual chargers fit? Overall, having universal travel adapters lets you charge and work as they do in the Philippines. It's just nice to have one just in case.

Don't worry, they aren’t as bulky as the extensions—which you can now carry on the plane. They definitely won't take up too much space in your bag. We list down some adapters you can get online.
