Power is what the wall supplies, not what a device needs: most phone and laptop chargers take 100 to 240 V, so you usually need only a plug adapter. Check the label on your device.

Humidity, crowds, prices and festivals are not included, and a mountain or coast can differ from its half-degree grid cell.
