From Guatemala to Slovakia
When travelling from Guatemala to Slovakia: None of your Guatemala plug types fit in Slovakia. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (120V → 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.
