Tips for Charging Your Electronics While Traveling

The only thing worse than forgetting your personal electronic device when you travel is not having a place to charge it.

 

In my experience with hotels overseas, it can be difficult to find more than one electric outlet or plug for your phone or laptop.

 

So I now travel with a power strip or multi-outlet plug. This is so that I can always charge my phone, computer, spare battery, or camera.

 

Here’s another secret. Most hotel TVs have a USB port on the back of the unit that you can also use to charge your electronic devices.

 

And in the event you forget your charger cord, don’t worry. Just check with the hotel’s lost and found. There’s an excellent chance that another guest left theirs, and the hotel can loan one to you.
