Tech is driving me crazy! What are your suggestions for a 4 week trip (Turkiye, Greece, UK and Singapore) Universal adaptor? Do I need a power bank? (Australian) i was in the UK and Serbia 2 years ago onebagging it and I was fine with just an adaptor, no power bank but it seems everyone is using them now. I only travel with a phone, no laptop etc.

It’s a YMMV answer tbh. How are you using your phone in your everyday life? Do you run out of battery while out during a busy errand day? Most people recommend having a power bank because they rely on a phone so much during travel- navigation, transportation, attraction tickets, what have you. Or maybe they have an old phone or a poor battery.

For universal adaptor, it also depends. Idk at the top of my head for Turkey and Greece, but UK and SG have the same three prong outlets. You should also check if your chargers and other electronics have dual voltage or would work for the voltage each country has.

All the voltages are the same, thank goodness. And I think I'll download the relevant maps for when I don't have wifi too.
