From Barbados to Kiribati
When travelling from Barbados to Kiribati: None of your Barbados plug types fit in Kiribati. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (115V → 240V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 240V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.
