From French Polynesia to Nicaragua
When travelling from French Polynesia to Nicaragua: None of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Nicaragua. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (230V → 120V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 120V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 60Hz.
