You don't need a converter, which actually changes the amount of voltage. The iPad's charger, like all Apple chargers, are rated for 100 - 240 volts. That covers for the United States (110V) and the European one (220V?). And pretty much the whole world. So don't worry about burning out your charger/iPad.

What you need is an adapter. That just changes the SHAPE of the connector that fits into your socket, because all these regions use different shaped outlets. Like someone said, you need that travel kit. That doesn't alter the amount of electricity, but just so the connector fits in the outlet. 😉
