What is the difference between a travel converter and adapter, and which one should I use for my international trips?

A travel adapter is used to plug your electronic devices into different types of outlets around the world, while a travel converter is used to change the voltage of your devices to match the local voltage. For international trips, you may need both an adapter and a converter depending on the country you are visiting and the devices you are bringing. It is important to research the electrical standards of your destination to determine which one you need.
