NY Times کے مضمون کے بعد، آپ میں سے بہت سے لوگوں نے ان اشیاء کی مکمل فہرست طلب کی ہے جن کے ساتھ میں رہتا ہوں اور سفر کرتا ہوں۔ یہ سوٹ کیس اور بیگ سمیت 50 اشیاء تک ابلتا ہے۔

کیری آن سوٹ کیس میں جس کے ساتھ میں سفر کرتا ہوں:

• 2 جینز
• 1 سوٹ
• لباس کے جوتوں کا 1 جوڑا
• ٹینس کے جوتوں کا 1 جوڑا
• 4 ڈریس شرٹس
• 1 لمبی بازو والی ٹی شرٹ
• 2 چھوٹی بازو والی ٹی شرٹس
• 2 ٹینس شرٹس
• 1 غسل کا سوٹ
• سپورٹس شارٹس کا 1 جوڑا
• 10 زیر جامہ
• سیاہ جرابوں کے 7 جوڑے
• ٹینس جرابوں کے 3 جوڑے
• 1 سویٹر
• 1 جیکٹ
• سویٹ پینٹ اور سویٹ شرٹ کا 1 سیٹ
• بیت الخلا کا سامان (یہ سمجھا جاتا ہے کہ انہیں 1 آئٹم کہنا “دھوکہ دہی” ہے، لیکن یہ یقینی طور پر اشیاء کا ایک مجموعہ ہے)

بیگ میں، میں اپنے پاس رکھتا ہوں:

• نوٹ بک کمپیوٹر
• آئی پیڈ
• جلانا
• آئی فون
• پرس
• پاسپورٹ

میں زخمی نہ ہونے پر اپنے ٹینس اور/یا پیڈل ریکٹ کے ساتھ بھی سفر کرتا ہوں۔ میں اپنا کٹنگ گیئر Cabarete میں لاکر میں رکھتا ہوں اور نیویارک میں سٹوریج میں سکی گیئر رکھتا ہوں۔

موسم اور تبدیلیوں کے لحاظ سے تھوڑا سا تغیر ہوتا ہے کیونکہ چیزیں ختم ہوجاتی ہیں، جو ان میں تیزی سے کرنے کا رجحان ہوتا ہے کیونکہ میں انہیں بہت زیادہ استعمال کرتا ہوں۔ اس نے کہا کہ اوپر کی فہرست وہی ہے جس کے ساتھ میں دسمبر سے سفر کر رہا ہوں۔ اس میں FIAF ، نیویارک کے موسم سرما، ٹولم اور سینٹ بارتھس کے ساحلوں اور دنیا بھر میں میری روز مرہ کی کاروباری زندگی کا احاطہ کیا گیا تھا۔ سردیوں سے نمٹنے کے لیے میرے پاس کبھی کبھی دستانے، اسکارف اور ٹوپی کا ایک جوڑا ہوتا ہے، لیکن سردی سے نمٹنے کے لیے میری بنیادی حکمت عملی تہوں کو استعمال کرنا اور باہر کا وقت محدود کرنا ہے۔

قمیضوں کو روزانہ گھما کر اور اس بات کو یقینی بنانے سے کہ ان کے مختلف رنگ اور نمونے ہیں، آپ لباس کے تنوع کا تاثر دے سکتے ہیں حالانکہ آپ جو کچھ بھی پہنتے ہیں وہ بنیادی طور پر ایک جیسی ہے۔

مذکورہ بالا کے ساتھ میں نے بھی 10 سالوں میں سامان کی جانچ نہیں کی۔ یہ وقت کی ایک غیر معمولی بڑی رقم بچاتا ہے. آپ آخری لمحات میں ہوائی اڈے پر آ سکتے ہیں، آپ کو کبھی بھی سامان کا انتظار نہیں کرنا پڑتا، اور یہ کبھی ضائع نہیں ہوتا۔ میرا اندازہ ہے کہ میں نے پچھلے 10 سالوں میں فی پرواز کم از کم 30 منٹ کی بچت کی ہے – اور میں عام طور پر ہفتے میں ایک بار پرواز کرتا ہوں۔ آپ کے پاس جتنی کم چیزیں ہیں، آپ اتنی ہی تیزی سے حرکت کریں گے اور آپ کے پاس دنیا کو فتح کرنے اور دوستوں اور کنبہ کے ساتھ وقت گزارنے کے اتنے ہی بہتر امکانات ہیں۔
 
لائیو اور ٹریول لائٹ آپ کی باری!

Asset Light Living

Asset Light Living

After the NY Times article, a number of you have reached out asking for the full list of items I live and travel with. It boils down to 50 items including the suitcase and backpack.

In the carry-on suitcase I travel with:

• 2 jeans
• 1 suit
• 1 pair of dress shoes
• 1 pair of tennis shoes
• 4 dress shirts
• 1 long sleeve t-shirt
• 2 short sleeve t-shirts
• 2 tennis shirts
• 1 bathing suit
• 1 pair of sports shorts
• 10 underwear
• 7 pairs of black socks
• 3 pairs of tennis socks
• 1 sweater
• 1 jacket
• 1 set of sweatpants and sweatshirt
• Toiletries (granted it’s “cheating” to call them 1 item, but it’s definitely a set of items)

In the backpack, I keep my:

• Notebook computer
• iPad
• Kindle
• iPhone
• Wallet
• Passport

I also travel with my tennis and/or padel racquet when not injured. I keep my kiting gear in a locker in Cabarete and ski gear in storage in New York.

There is a bit of variation depending on the season and replacements as things wear down, which they have a tendency to do rapidly given that I use them a lot. That said the list above is what I have been traveling with since December. It covered the dressed up award ceremony at FIAF, the New York winter, the beaches of Tulum and St. Barths and my day to day entrepreneur life around the world. I sometimes have a pair of gloves, scarf and hat to cope with the winters, but my main strategy to deal with the cold is to use layers and limit my time outside.

By rotating shirts daily and making sure they have different colors and patterns, you can give the impression of clothing diversity even though everything else you wear is essentially identical.

With the above I have also not checked luggage in 10 years. It saves an inordinately large amount of time. You can show up at the airport at the last minute, you never have to wait for luggage, and it never gets lost. I estimate I saved at least 30 minutes saved per flight over the last 10 years – and I typically fly once a week. The less things you have, the faster you move and the better chances you have to conquer the world and spend time with friends and family.
 
Your turn to live and travel light!

الأصول الخفيفة المعيشة

بعد مقال نيويورك تايمز، تواصل عدد منكم وطلب القائمة الكاملة للعناصر التي أعيش معها وأسافر معها. يتلخص الأمر في 50 عنصرًا بما في ذلك حقيبة السفر وحقيبة الظهر.

في حقيبة اليد أسافر مع:

• 2 جينز
• 1 بدلة
• زوج واحد من الأحذية الرسمية
• زوج واحد من أحذية التنس
• 4 قمصان
• عدد 1 تيشيرت بأكمام طويلة
• عدد 2 تيشيرت بأكمام قصيرة
• عدد 2 قميص تنس
• 1 ثوب سباحة
• زوج واحد من السراويل الرياضية
• 10 ملابس داخلية
• 7 أزواج من الجوارب السوداء
• 3 أزواج من جوارب التنس
• 1 سترة
• 1 سترة
• 1 مجموعة من السراويل الرياضية والبلوزات
• أدوات النظافة (من “الغش” أن نطلق عليها عنصرًا واحدًا، لكنها بالتأكيد مجموعة من العناصر)

في حقيبة الظهر أحتفظ بما يلي:

• كومبيوتر محمول
• اى باد
• كيندل
• ايفون
• محفظة
• جواز سفر

أسافر أيضًا مع مضرب التنس و/أو المضرب عندما لا أكون مصابًا. أحتفظ بمعدات الطيران الورقية الخاصة بي في خزانة في كاباريتي ومعدات التزلج في المخزن في نيويورك.

هناك القليل من الاختلاف اعتمادًا على الموسم والاستبدالات مع تآكل الأشياء، وهو ما يميلون إلى القيام به بسرعة نظرًا لأنني أستخدمهم كثيرًا. ومع ذلك، فإن القائمة أعلاه هي ما أسافر معه منذ ديسمبر. لقد غطت حفل توزيع الجوائز الأنيق في FIAF ، وشتاء نيويورك، وشواطئ تولوم وسانت بارثس وحياتي اليومية لريادة الأعمال حول العالم. أحيانًا أرتدي زوجًا من القفازات والوشاح والقبعة للتعامل مع فصل الشتاء، لكن استراتيجيتي الرئيسية للتعامل مع البرد هي استخدام طبقات من الملابس والحد من وقتي بالخارج.

من خلال تبديل القمصان يوميًا والتأكد من أنها ذات ألوان وأنماط مختلفة، يمكنك إعطاء انطباع بتنوع الملابس على الرغم من أن كل ما ترتديه متطابق بشكل أساسي.

مع ما ورد أعلاه، لم أقم بفحص الأمتعة منذ 10 سنوات. أنه يوفر كمية كبيرة بشكل غير عادي من الوقت. يمكنك الحضور إلى المطار في اللحظة الأخيرة، ولن تضطر أبدًا إلى انتظار الأمتعة، ولن تضيع أبدًا. أقدر أنني وفرت ما لا يقل عن 30 دقيقة لكل رحلة على مدى السنوات العشر الماضية – وعادةً ما أسافر مرة واحدة في الأسبوع. كلما قلت الأشياء التي تمتلكها، كلما تحركت بشكل أسرع وزادت فرصك في غزو العالم وقضاء الوقت مع الأصدقاء والعائلة.
 
دورك للعيش والسفر الخفيف!

Some Thoughts on the New York Times Styles Section Article

Some Thoughts on the New York Times Styles Section Article

This goes to show there is no such thing as bad press. I made the cover of the New York Times Styles section last Sunday.

NYT Post picture

Unfortunately the article fails to capture my life philosophy and underlying happiness. It does not understand that experimenting on everything, including lifestyle, is the typical entrepreneurial hacker way. It ignores my philanthropy and generosity. It misses the real underlying love I have for my friends and family and their love for me. It belittles my two year relationship with my wonderful girlfriend Otilia. But hey, I am on the cover of the New York Times Styles Section and that’s pretty cool 🙂

If you want to understand what my lifestyle experiment was really about read The Very Big Downgrade and Update on the Very Big Downgrade. I will also write an update in the coming weeks describing what I have been up to in the Dominican Republic: Silicon Cabarete, funding local schools, building houses for my employees etc.

I am reproducing the New York Times article below for your reading pleasure. You can find the original at: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/14/fashion/a-curious-midlife-crisis-for-a-tech-entrepreneur.html

By LAURA M. HOLSON14COUCH-blog427 II

A Curious Midlife Crisis for a Tech Entrepreneur

For a time, he lived on a 20-acre estate in Bedford, N.Y., overseen by a butler whom he paid $50,000 a year, and he hosted grand parties for 60 guests or more.

They swam in his pool, waged paintball wars in the woods and played padel tennis on his private court.

With no family or boss to answer to, he was able to go skiing in Utah on a whim, working whenever he wanted to, as long as he had decent Wi-Fi and a robust cell signal.

Sometimes, when he was restless, he would go for drives in his $300,000 McLaren sports car. On weekends he might crash at his $13,000-a-month Manhattan pied-à-terre near Madison Square Park. He booked late-night tables at chic restaurants and dined in the company of beautiful, intelligent women.

But as he approached 40, Fabrice Grinda, a French technology entrepreneur with an estimated net worth of $100 million, couldn’t shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. Somehow the trappings of his success were weighing him down.

He was having a midlife crisis — in reverse.

“People turn 40 and usually buy a shiny sports car,” Mr. Grinda said during an interview in a penthouse suite at Sixty LES, a downtown boutique hotel. “They don’t say, ‘I’m downsizing my life and giving up all my possessions to focus on experiences and friendships.

But that is exactly what Mr. Grinda did. He moved out of the Bedford house in December 2012, ditched the city apartment and got rid of the McLaren. He donated clothes, sports equipment and kitchen utensils to the Church of St. Francis Xavier in Lower Manhattan. He gave his furniture to Housing Works and he packed a Tumi carry-on suitcase with 50 items, including two pairs of jeans, a bathing suit and 10 pairs of socks.

He dubbed it “the very big downgrade”: He was going to travel the world, working on the fly while staying with friends and family. He was purposely arranging things so that he would have a chance to focus on what was meaningful in life.

“When I looked back at the things that mattered the most to me,” he said, “they were experiences, friendships and family — none of which I had invested much in, partly because I was too busy, and partly because I felt anchored by my possessions.”

He assumed everyone would be happy to see him. But as Benjamin Franklin wrote, “Fish and visitors stink in three days.”

His first stop was Miami. Mr. Grinda stayed with a childhood friend, Olivier Brion, at the home he shared with his wife, Hélène, and their toddler.

Soon after his arrival, there were problems. For one, there was the matter of Mr. Grinda’s bearing. “He is very loud when he talks,” Mr. Brion said.

20150614COUCHSURFER-slide-Z4GF-jumbo

Mr. Grinda also wanted to play tennis after his friend got home from work, which left Mr. Brion hobbling and sore from their furious two-hour matches.

There was also an issue with Mr. Grinda’s suitcase wardrobe. “My wife was doing his laundry,” Mr. Brion said. She also took on the chore of making his bed in their small guest room.

Not only that, she rearranged their toddler’s schedule so that they could dine late, in keeping with Mr. Grinda’s usual habits.

Mr. Brion said his wife was patient with the houseguest. “She never asked, ‘When is Fabrice leaving?’ ” But, he added, “She said, ‘I won’t do this forever.’ ”

The visit lasted all of one week.

“It was a disaster,” Mr. Grinda said. “By the time it’s 10 p.m., they were dead and exhausted and going to bed. I was just getting started.”

Born in suburban Paris in 1974, Mr. Grinda graduated from Princeton in 1996 with a degree in economics. He worked as a consultant at McKinsey & Company for two years before moving back to France to found an online auction start-up funded by the business magnate Bernard Arnault, which Mr. Grinda sold in 2000.

He returned to the United States, where he co-founded Zingy, a mobile phone ringtone and game maker, which fetched $80 million in a 2004 sale. After that, he was a founder of OLX, a Craigslist-like service that has become one of the largest global classified websites.

Now he is an entrepreneur and angel investor, with more than 200 investments to date, who visits start-ups in Berlin, Paris, New York, San Francisco and other cities.

Mr. Grinda, gregarious and quirky, was once a shy teenager who liked video games and tennis. He has two younger brothers and spent his boyhood summers in Nice. In his later years he became an avid kite-surfer.

He looks (and acts) something like Sheldon Cooper, the oddball science geek played by Jim Parsons on “The Big Bang Theory,” an observation Mr. Grinda himself has made.

“Friends, who knew me in my late teens and early twenties, would tell you I had exactly the same delusional sense of self-worth and condescending and arrogant self-centered worldview,” he wrote in a blog post that noted his similarities to the sitcom character.

After his fiasco with the Brion family, Mr. Grinda tried his luck in Paris, staying at the apartment of a cousin, Cyril Lejeune, who is a banker.

Mr. Grinda spent afternoons in the living room, tapping away at his computer between business calls, and his suitcase wardrobe again proved a problem. “He would not have enough clothes, so he’d borrow mine,” Mr. Lejeune said.

It was a three-day visit.

After he was gone, Mr. Lejeune noticed that a few of his shirts were missing. “It doesn’t bother him at all,” Mr. Lejeune said, laughing. “But for me, for us, it was a problem.”

During another stop on his tour as a global nomad, he said he broke a lamp at the Paris apartment of Marc Simoncini, a wealthy French entrepreneur and start-up investor. (“Whoops,” Mr. Grinda said.)

And while he was staying at his father’s house in Nice, he recalled, there was a night when his father’s girlfriend turned off the heat in the guest room where he was sleeping.

Mr. Grinda has also crashed at the Miami vacation home of his mother, Sylviane Grinda. She said not much has changed since the days when she would visit him at Princeton and he would ask her to wash his underwear.

“He fancies himself as having the ability to be a wanderer,” said Niroshana Anandasabapathy, a dermatologist in Boston who is one of Mr. Grinda’s longtime friends. “He is proud he is able to live out of a suitcase.”

Mr. Grinda did not stay with Ms. Anandasabapathy during his wanderings. But she knows him well, and it is not lost on her he has a tendency to empty his friends’ refrigerators when he stops by. “He’s eaten an entire bowl of lemons,” she said.

14COUCHJP2-blog427 III

In all, Mr. Grinda said, he stayed with about 15 friends and family members in the first months of 2013. “Everyone was, like, ‘It’s a great idea. Come over,’ ” Mr. Grinda said. “The problem is, the idea of ‘Great, come over’ and me there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, is very different. Especially when their lives are not in sync with mine.”

Once he realized his days as a roving houseguest were numbered, Mr. Grinda decided to shift his approach: He kept traveling, but now he was renting apartments on Airbnb or staying in luxury hotels.

That posed problems, too. Occupancy rates are high in the cities where he worked for several weeks at a stretch, making it difficult for him to find rooms with the space and service he required. At one point, he said, he offered to pay for 100 nights upfront at the Mercer Hotel, the Trump SoHo and the Langham Place, and all three declined.

There was also the issue of explaining his living arrangements to the women he dated. “They’d say, ‘Where do you live?’ ” Mr. Grinda said.

On a second date with one woman, the conversation turned awkward. “She’s like, ‘Wait a minute. I get that maybe you live in hotels. But why is it a different room every time? Do you have a home somewhere where your wife and kids are? Are you taking me to a new hotel room because you only booked it for the night?’ ”

He hatched a new plan: His friends and family members would come to him.

“Rather than me going to them and disrupting their routine,” he said, “getting everyone together in a setting of vacation makes more sense.”

He invited his parents, his friends, their partners, children and nannies for a two-week stay in Anguilla, an island east of Puerto Rico, where he rented two conjoining houses, at a cost of $240,000, with chefs and full house service (and a total of 19 bedrooms).

“It was amazing, five-star service,” said Mr. Lejuene, who made the trip. “He has this dream of making a big place where everyone can play.”

But Mr. Grinda forgot to consider that not everyone lives as he does.

For one thing, he had scheduled the Anguilla vacation during the school year, which meant friends with children couldn’t make it. The island’s remoteness, furthermore, meant some guests were forced to endure a tangle of flight connections, leaving some of them exhausted by the time they arrived.

And many of the people he invited, who had jobs and other obligations, could stay only for a long weekend.

About 50 people made the trip. He estimated the cost, including meals, private jets, dog care, as well as kite-surfing and tennis lessons, at $400,000. “It was over the top,” he says now. “I was still learning.”

After that setback, he settled on a compromise. Now, he holds two parties — at Christmas and during the summer — in Cabarete, Dominican Republic, where he recently became a resident (it has a low tax rate). The cost: About $25,000 per party, he said. Last August he celebrated his 40th birthday there, surrounded by friends and family.

Mr. Grinda said he has learned a lot from his very big downgrade. He reconnected with old friends, even if it meant annoying them a little, and he rekindled his relationship with his father.

“We spent time talking about his life,” he said. And he is no longer against the idea of having a fixed address; he said he is now in negotiations to buy a two-bedroom apartment on the Lower East Side, which he plans to rent out when he is not in town.

Still, the experiment has taken its toll. “The philosophy is interesting,” he said. “But how do you put it into practice? How do you make it real?”

He recently split up with Otilia Aionesei, a former model who works at technology start-up, whom he had been dating, off and on, for two years. The sticking point was their lack of a shared home.

“If you want to be his girlfriend, this is the life you have to lead,” Ms. Aionesei said. “I like simple things, to watch movies on the same couch.”

Mr. Grinda had a different view. “We went to the Galápagos,” he said. “We went to Tulum. To St. Barts. We have these wonderful experiences and memories together.”

(His mother worries he may never settle down. “If he is happy, fine with me,” she said by email, “but I would not like to be his girl.”)

Mr. Grinda looked around the living room of the hotel suite, spare with black and white furniture.

“My home is where I am,” he said. “And it doesn’t matter if it is a friend’s place or a couch or the middle of the jungle or a hotel room on the Lower East Side. But I realize that most of humanity, especially women, don’t see it that way.”
