using USB devices abroad

Can a USB device (digital camera) that was purchased in North America be
safely connected to a computer in Europe? There is a voltage difference
between the two continents, but do European computers send more power
through their USB ports or is USB power consistent around the world?

USB voltages are constant no matter what the line voltage is.

You should be MORE worried if the USB device is lost/stolen and it has critical dat stored
on it!
