In the Ubud Monkey Sanctuary Forest I sat down and whispered… I want a monkey to sit on me- he heard! Loved every second of getting fresh with this little guy! Thanks to Catherine Perkins, a colleague turned travelista, for flying half way around the world to share theses moments with me and capturing this shot!

Frienz’s market has a marvelous sense of humor. The sign advertising their Christmas trees read: Free range, non GMO, gluten free, cut and live trees. We bought one! Too bad it’s not organic…hah!

Arriving home from three months of adventuring around Asia, this Christmas I’m feeling more blessed than ever. In a warm, happy, spacious house our family – just Mikie, Katie, Mom, Dad, Luie and I – will share our love and exchange gifts, and enjoy the most scrumptious breakfast egg casserole as tradition! My stomach is already gurgling thinking about the gooey goodness.

Every year, I’m eternally grateful to have a family that not only loves and supports one another no matter where we are, but genuinely enjoys spending time with one another when we are together.

I’m eager to see my God Parents, Aunt Robin and Uncle Chip, this afternoon as they bring a sense of reality and dose of humor to the occasion. In addition, my Aunt Robin closely competes with my mother for best chef in the kitchen and her appetizers are to die for! My Mother, Chef Cathy’s Holiday Feast this evening, will be no shorter than five courses, as it has been for nearly a decade. We will say grace and descend upon the food and drink and fill ourselves full of expensive wine and locally grown, home cooked food until we are silly.

The fact that we can eat like this does not go without recognizing how many hungry, lonely people there may be across the globe tonight and our hearts are with you. In honor of this, we support local endeavors in Milwaukee to end hunger and educate children on growing healthy food and practicing a nutritious diet.  Read more about The Farm at the Hunger Task Force here!

Nana, at 93, recovering from multiple strokes in 2014, may not exactly be herself. However, this classy lady’s charm will surely sear through her senility and her quips on politics or past adventures of her own global trotting will slip out from time to time. I will hold these priceless moments in my heart so tight, understanding that there may be a time when these mumbles are only memories. I love my Nana dearly and her wit and resilience throughout her life is an inspiration to all who know her. Both my grandmothers have made a tremendous impact in shaping who I am as a young women.

This Christmas, I reflect upon the friends and students I’ve met all over the world. Some will be celebrating "the reason for the season" or simple family traditions, or not celebrating at all; May your day be merry and bright no matter what Christmas means to you.

My mind drifts to a favorite student and local village girl from Chiang Rai, Nah-ah, who in several English lessons, shared a special passion for learning about the holidays. Nah-ah let me know her family celebrates Christmas. Tonight they will go to church and sing which brings her great joy. I hear your sweet voice, sweet girl, from the opposite side of the planet and I hope the carols we practiced come in handy today!

May the volunteers I met have a purposeful celebration and may your adventures continue at home or wherever you are! Every individual I’ve met "on the road"  has helped to shape me into my healthiest, simplest, most grateful self and that is the best gift anyone could ask for- Thank you!

MerrEEE Christmas to All!

Lots of Love,

Hallie (LouLou) Jaeger

Because EEE’ing feels, tastes, smells, sounds, and looks EXTRAORDINARY!

Why did I start this blog?

Read the full story on how EEEtheWorld originated here on Traveling9to5.com. This covers "letting go" and inspiration to begin (not the adventure of a lifetime) MAKING LIFETIME AN ADVENTURE.

What are the intentions for the blog?

Honestly, I am figuring that out. For the foreseeable future I will be easing from me mode to you mode. However, I’ve learned from past experiences both from crumpled relationships and career changes that I tend to not put my first and this causes more harm than good. So, right now I am asking for your pardon as this blog is in mEEE mode presently commemorating my recent travels to Thailand, Hong Kong, Bali, and back to Thailand.

Isn’t there a cliché saying that you have to love yourself first before you can truly love anyone else!? Well I am just going to plead that for the current mode of this blog…self love! This is baby blog mode and my intentions are to let it grow into whatever it becomes with lots of TLC.

Ideally, I’d like this site to become a niche for adventurers who pack light, eat right, conquer fright, and act bright while traveling and exude this mentality in their routine lifestyle as well.

Presently, there is no cure for "the travel bug". But EEE will serve as the treatment plan to maintain wellness on and off the road.

So welcome to EEE….right now, we are just gonna let mEEE bEEE!

Obviously, always open to suggestions at EEEtheWorld@gmail.com or the comments section below.

ChEEErs,

<3 HallieEEE
