From Brazil to Faroe Islands
When travelling from Brazil to Faroe Islands: Some of your Brazil plug types fit in Faroe Islands (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (127V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
