Traveller packs for 'entire holiday' using tiny shoulder bag
It's the viral handbag that's made waves in the fashion world for being lightweight, affordable and effortlessly stylish.
And now one traveller has shown her amazing packing skills to fit three days worth of luggage into her tiny Uniqlo sling bag.
Taking the meaning of hand luggage to a whole new minimalist level, British travel expert Chelsea Dickenson posted a Facebook reel showing how she packed for a quick getaway to Albania.

"We all know that it's basically a Mary Poppins bag, and so I started wondering whether it was possible to do an entire holiday with one," she wrote in the post.
With space at a premium, Chelsea, also known as the Cheap Travel Expert, cleverly makes the most of her travel outfit, opting to wear her heavier and bulkier items like a denim jacket, shirt, pants and cap.

But with two more days to dress for, Chelsea packs a skirt, singlet, nightie, socks and two pairs of underwear – even using a vacuum bag to shrink things down even further.
Proudly showing off her handiwork, Chelsea reveals there's still plenty of space for her other travel essentials.

Next are toiletries, and while Chelsea initially shows off a massive box of travel cosmetics and items she's accumulated over the years, she's clearly learnt from her mistakes.
Now decanting everything into tiny jars and pots, she manages to pack everything she needs into a small toiletries bag, including moisturiser, foundation, toothpaste, toothbrush, mascara and even a lip and cheek tint.
When it comes to electronics, Chelsea makes a point of shunning adaptors and charging leads. Instead, she opts for a fully charged power bank and her watch charger.

While Chelsea makes the disclaimer that she knew it was going to be sunny (so no need for jumpers or wet weather gear) and also travelled with a backpack for her laptop and camera so she could work while away, it's definitely opened her mind to the idea of packing light.
The video has clearly inspired fellow travellers, who were shocked at just how easy Chelsea made it look.
"My god, I take more than this on a trip to the supermarket for a pint of milk," commented one watcher.
"How do I block my boyfriend from seeing this?" added another.
