Bestek Universal Adapter
If you are planning on any type of international travel, the Bestek Universal Travel Adapter is an absolute must-have.
I used this adapter all over the world, in airports, bars, hotels, hostels, and bus stations.
With seven charging stations, you will be able to charge all your devices at once (phone, camera, Go-Pro, laptop, wifi-finder, Kindle, or anything else you may need to charge while on the road.)
Additionally, you will make friends very quickly, as you will be able to charge any newly made friend's devices while charging your own.
It also comes with EU/UK/AU/US/India adapters so you will be able to use it just about anywhere in the world. It is lightweight, affordable, and will be the only adapter you will need.
Finding power outlets that fit your devices while traveling around the world can be a nightmare, but the Bestek Universal Adapter saved the time, energy and hassle that is typically associated with charging devices while traveling.
There is a slight "Hum" the device makes while in use, which also came in handy as a sleep machine and would drown out typical noises that may bother you while in hotels and hostels.
This was my far my most used item during my year-long travel around the world, and it comes with the highest of all recommendations.

Wifi Finder
Skyroam Solis
For safe, reliable internet when traveling internationally (available in over 130 countries) the Skyroam Solis will get the job done.
The Skyroam Solis is a personal WiFi finder that offers 4G LTE WiFi at blazing fast speeds.
Once you purchase the device (prices start around $100 USD) you can choose which WiFi plan would suit you best. You can choose a daily pass, which will cost you $9 USD / day or an unlimited global plan, which is a set price of $99 USD / month.
(If you do not want to purchase the device, you may also rent the device for an additional $8.99 / day. )
The key is, this device, along with either plan you choose, can connect up to TEN devices at once. That is less than a dollar a day (per device) for the daily plan, and less than $10 USD / month per device.
Perhaps most importantly, the Skyroam will offer you a SECURE connection no matter where you go.
The Skyroam also doubles as a power bank, which can charge your other electronic devices such as your phone or camera. It is extremely lightweight, compact, and can even fit in your pocket.
Their newest version, the Skyroam Solis X even comes with a 8MP remote camera, speaker, microphone and bluetooth, and a smart assistant.
I personally used my Skyroam everyday during my international travels. After accidentally leaving it in a hotel room in Barcelona, I even spent the money to purchase a new one and had it shipped to my next location.
You never know what the Wi-Fi connection will be like when traveling around the world, but you can take comfort in knowing that the Skyroam Solis will be there to keep you connected. BECAUSE OF SKYROAM I WAS ABLE TO CANCEL MY PHONE PLAN FOR MY EXTENDED TRAVELS AND WAS STILL EASILY CONNECTED TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY AT NEARLY ALL TIMES. No roaming charges, international fees, or worries about data usage.
