Dave Just about every 'wallcube' switching power supply is auto input voltage sensing. This includes Laptops, iPads, and phone chargers. Even the Astron switching supplies can handle 110 or 220 although some will have an internal switch to make that happen. This is a great feature, but the cost is switching power supplies can be RF noise if not choked correctly.
You just need a simple and inexpensive plug adapter depending on the country you go to. Look at the power supplies you know own and it will show their input range.
