When you are travelling to multiple countries then the best international travel charger for Guadeloupe is a multiple USB adapter which includes compatible plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. Guadeloupians use three different standards of wall outlets (D, C and E) and bringing this ensures that you are covered for type C. Because these types of chargers come with interchangeable plugs and handle 100 to 240 volts will mean that you can travel to multiple countries around the world just by changing the included plugs.
