For example, if the voltage level and power plugs at the destinations are different from home, the trip participants should check their devices’ range of voltage ratings and take converters if needed. We also provide reusable notebooks to the participants so that the scans of the pages can be uploaded to an online server then the content on those pages can be erased and reused.
