How I Travel: Marie Kondo Doesn’t Overplan Family Vacations | Condé Nast Traveler

"I took one of my most memorable trips with my husband to Yakushima, an island in Kagoshima Prefecture, before our children were born; it's often called a “spiritual island” where you can truly feel the power and mystery of nature just by being there. The visit left a deep impression on me and felt like an incredibly special holiday." - Kaitlin Menza
