Luxury travel as we know it has officially died, as backpackers worldwide announce they are ditching basic human needs in favor of the newly discounted Anker Nano Travel Adapter, now down to $19.99—a price so low travelers can finally charge five devices simultaneously without resorting to morally questionable hostel outlet negotiations.
“For years, I’ve had to face humiliating questions like, ‘Is this your phone cable?’ and ‘Did you just unplug my dialysis machine to charge your Kindle?'” confessed Joshua Bleeker, a digital nomad whose only other possessions are a collapsible fork and three pairs of quick-dry underwear. “With the Anker Nano, I can charge my phone, camera, e-reader, hair straightener, and a mysterious fourth device all at once. I have no friends, but I have power.”
The Nano Travel Adapter’s ability to work in over 200 countries has inspired a new class of power tourists unburdened by respect for local customs or voltage limitations. “I don’t even check if it fits,” said self-proclaimed plugfluencer Stephanie Noodleman, posting from the socket-laden lobby of a Lisbon co-working space, where she was last seen attempting to run a toaster oven from a single USB-C port. “If the adapter doesn’t fit, I just keep shoving until it does. The world is my outlet.”
Safety features include built-in temperature control and a bolded footnote sternly warning against using it with hair dryers, which, according to Anker, “may awaken dormant volcanoes in certain regions.”
“This adapter has single-handedly destroyed the international black market for overpriced converters,” lamented Eastern European outlet-scammer Ivan Blok. “My children will have to eat uncharged food.”
With the Anker Nano, travelers can now go absolutely anywhere—so long as they avoid shaving, drying their hair, or plugging in literally any object from the 20th century.
