Chargers are almost always compatible with any a/c voltage and only need a physical adapter to plug into a wall socket in a different country. Or bring a power bank with you
They’re also much less capable though. Have fun finding a USB-C PD port anywhere when you need to charge your laptop - a power outlet is much more useful.
I basically end up using power bricks for laptop and phone, and ports built into a power strip for everything else. Most stuff doesn’t need full PD support (but most anker power strips actually support it, just not at very high wattage).
I don’t think you can do the PD standard from a USB a port. Edit: Reading the Wikipedia page, it sounds like usb-a supports PD 1.0 but not 2.0+ and the higher power requirements.
That’s why USB ports are always worse than a proper outlet. Just take your charging brick with you, what’s the problem?
travels internationally
I’ve got a brick for EU/UK/USA/AUS plugs with 3 type a and 1 type c and an international multiplug ac/ac pass through.
You’ve got to start traveling with one of these bad boys:
Just throw some backpack straps on that and off you go
When you’re advanced, you carry two: one powers your stuff, and the other is for your karaoke machine.

USB ports on a wall outlet or power strip are usually much more space efficient than a charging brick.
