If you would like to know how to take electronic devices overseas, here are some tips for you:

-If your device is not dual voltage, don't worry - you can purchase a small step-down converter or transformer that will convert the voltage for you. You have to make sure the wattage on the converter is enough for your device. (If your device need 50W, you'll need a transformer with at least 50W as well).
-Once you have your converter and devices ready, you might also need a plug adapter, depending on where you're going. Most of the devices you can purchase in USA have thin, vertical metal prongs, whereas the standard overseas is round metal prongs.
-If you don't buy a plug adapter, your device (or even converter) might not fit into the outlets of the place you are visiting.
-If you plan on living overseas for a few years, the best thing to do is replace all your electronic devices, since constantly using a converter might wear it out.
