Every time I travel, I end up in some hotel room late at night, desperate for a cup of tea or just some hot water for instant noodles. Last month in Paris, I spent 20 minutes hunting for a kettle, only to find out the hotel didn’t even have one at the front desk. So now I’m eyeing these small stainless steel travel kettles that claim to work anywhere, thanks to dual voltage. The idea sounds perfect—just plug it in and enjoy hot water no matter where I am, whether it’s Tokyo or Rome. But here’s where I get stuck: even if the voltage works, what about the plug? These things never seem to match the outlets, and I’m not sure if a regular travel adapter is enough, or if I’m risking blowing a fuse or frying the kettle. Has anyone actually tried using one of these kettles with just a basic plug adapter in different countries? I’m tired of being the person boiling water in the bathroom sink with a hairdryer. There’s got to be a better way, right? #travelquestions #kettlewoes #tealover #Travel
