Travel expert and holiday bargain hunter Chelsea Dickenson has revealed how she managed to embark on an overseas trip with just one bag. Equipped with the 'Millennial Birkin' - the Uniqlo Round Mini Shoulder Bag - Chelsea successfully packed all her essentials for a three-day jaunt to Albania.
Dubbing it the 'Mary Poppins' bag, Chelsea shared that it was all she required to accommodate everything for her Albanian adventure, where she aimed to holiday for a mere £100. However, she declared the "star of the show" was actually her denim jacket, ingeniously designed with two inside pockets perfectly sized for her phone, passport and tripod.
Her packing list comprised one skirt, one vest, one nightie, two pairs of socks and two pairs of underwear. To ensure everything snugly fit in her Uniqlo bag, she utilised a vacuum-packed bag, which compacted her clothes, reports the Manchester Evening News.
For toiletries, Chelsea packed moisturiser, cleanser, foundation decanted into a small pot, lip and cheek tint, eyebrow gel, mascara, a comb, travel toothbrush and toothpaste. Chelsea stated: "The final things I had to pack were my electronics, and this was a risky strategy. But I didn't take an adapter, I just took a fully charged power bank with a USB-C cable, and I also took a watch charger as well.".
The last item Chelsea stowed in her bag was her keys. When the moment of truth arrived, the bag zipped up effortlessly without any issues. In her explanation, she revealed: "You may have spotted that I do indeed have a BACKPACK in the videos of the £100 trip... Yep, I took a backpack for my laptop and big camera since I was there to work which is why I didn't make a video about my light packing efforts at the time, as that wasn't the purpose of the trip.
