Eagle Creek Dual Wattage International Converter Set
I can’t stress enough the importance of looking into/buying an outlet converter and adapter before you head abroad. This combination transformer/converter does all the work for you, stepping down foreign electricity (220/240V) to North American (110/125V) current. It can be used with battery chargers, curling irons, shavers, toothbrushes, and electric appliances between 0-50 Watts, as well as with hair dryers, clothes steamers, irons, coffee makers, and other electric appliances between 51-1875 Watts. Of course, it also conveniently comes with a 5 piece outlet adapter set.![]() |

This is sort of the black sheep of The Study Abroad Student’s 2011 Christmas List, but believe it or not, Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement address was a huge factor in my decision to study abroad. I was really unsure about what I wanted to in life at the time, and in this speech, Jobs urged graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life’s setbacks, and to worry about connecting the dots later on. If you haven’t seen it, you should really take a look. Whether or not you believe in the way he conducted business, you can’t deny the man had a positive impact on many people’s lives including my own.![]() |
