Frequently asked
Is it free?
Yes — every guide is free to read. No account or sign-up required.
How accurate is the information?
We compile from public, authoritative references and link them on each page. Travel rules change, so always verify time-sensitive details with the official source before you go.
Do I need a power adapter?
It depends on your home country and destination. Each guide lists plug types and voltage, and the adapter checker compares them for you.
Can I drink the tap water?
It varies — each guide gives a clear read: generally safe, use caution, or use bottled water, with practical tips.
