Question

When traveling to Europe from North America, do I need to purchase a different power strip?

3/11/2019 11:11:56 AM The seller of that specific item has since answered a question stating that “The Voltage Range of this power strip is 100-240V“. Assuming you trust the seller / manufacturer claims the voltage shouldn’t be a problem for the power strip itself, though of course you’ll need to ensure that all devices you […]

My passport expires April 2013, can I renew it after my travel to US in December or before travel?

7/18/2012 4:10:04 PM I would renew my passport before going. There are indeed exceptions but from experience I can tell that in the end it is the immigration officer which has a final call. I once traveled to the US with a passport that was valid for only another three months. It would still be […]

7/16/2012 6:10:46 PM If you go to Hostelbookers (generally a bit cheaper than Hostelworld) and search by price, shared dorm rooms start around a little over 6 quid. In the high season when I was there last year it was still possible to walk into some hostels and get a bed, but not guaranteed, especially […]

However, many countries have restrictions on what foods can be imported. Items that are typically restricted are things like fresh fruit […]
