I've been using the Marie Kondo method to pack for trips around the world and it's completely changed how I pack

Over the last year, I have traveled the world for Business Insider, visiting nearly 20 countries and tons of climates.
Since I brought only a carry-on suitcase and a backpack, I had to pack strategically.
I found that the best way to pack was to follow famed organizer Marie Kondo’s KonMari method: Bring only that which “sparks joy,” organize by category, and fold clothes so that they stand upright.
I’ve found that using the KonMari method has helped me reduce stress on the road because I know where everything I need is.
