All you really need to travel abroad is a valid passport. But why not carry some stuff with you that’ll make your travelling a little more pleasant? We found some great gear that will keep your gadgets charged, make long flights less miserable, and prevent you from smelling like you’ve … well, been travelling abroad for too long. Best of all, it’ll all fit snugly into your carry-on bag.

Digipower Word Traveler Adapter with USB Charger ($12.25)
If you can’t charge your electronic devices when you’re travelling abroad, they’ll just be paperweights. Enter the Digipower World Traveler, which works in more than 150 countries with their bizarrely shaped wall sockets, and even allows you to charge USB-run devices. So feel free to listen to that terrible deep-house trance music you ill-advisedly downloaded in Berlin without having to worry about your mp3 player running out of juice.
