Underrated Items That Helped Me Survive a 27-DAY Trip in a CARRY-ON

FromAly Smalls5/13/2026

Aly Smalls just covered how she and Chris survived a 27-day trip to Europe using only carry-on luggage, and the gear list is wild. There is everything from clothing like Unbound Merino hoodies and New Balance sneakers to niche items like sneaker odor-fighting balls and folding travel hangers. The video breaks down the tech needed for the trip, including Bluetooth airplane adapters, portable chargers, and even Sony mirrorless cameras, alongside organizers like compression cubes and toiletry kits. It’s an interesting look at how they managed to fit such a wide range of gear—including AR glasses and a travel steamer—into such a compact space.
