I am always on Amazon shopping, browsing and comparing. You could say I peruse the site daily looking for travel accessories, gadget, gear and anything else that would make my trips easier or more comfortable.

Recently, while I was on their website, I realized something. I had done a Google search for an item and found it, but when I tried to check it out, I noticed that it was listed on Amazon UK. I normally shop on Amazon US. What I learned was that Amazon UK does not deliver to the US boxes. A no-brainer right?

Anyway, this was not a problem for me, but I learned another fact. After spending the day, searching for travel items on both Amazon US and Amazon UK, I realized how different the top selling travel accessories on both Amazon online stores are.

So, I eventually decided to make a list of the nine best selling travel accessories on Amazon UK for my UK visitors. I must say there are some really cool travel accessories that are trending. So here you go:

Eurosonic Travel Adaptor Plug: UK version

We learned our lesson last year on a trip to Martinique and Guadeloupe. I took it for granted that because they are Caribbean islands they would have the same power plug outlets like our home country.

Anyway, back to the Eurosonic Travel Adaptor. This item has an impressive 2,466 reviews on Amazon UK, with over 1,734 reviewers giving it 5 stars.

The travel adaptor plug is a UK three-pin, with two-pin USA, Canada and Australia adaptor capabilities. It can also work in a host of other European countries. PS: In case you're wondering ... Brits spell adaptors this way.
