Description

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile page!

I have been with WorkAway for a long time. However, since I am a SOLO traveler now and no longer have the reviews, contacts, and profile descriptions from my previous 'couples' account to point to, I am happy to offer a window into some of my evolution and outlook via the following links and snapshot of my background.

Snapshot
I was born in Paris and lived (drove) far too long in Los Angeles, California. Now, although an entertainment career in filmmaking, animation, and theme park design once spun my world, a healthy lifestyle, thoughtful giving, and enriching exchanges propel me joyfully forward, into new frontiers. I have great appreciation for varied cultures and the eye-opening aesthetics they create; however, having traveled much of the world, I mainly look to experience the wondrous nature and potential in all beings.

Extras
My previous hosts and clients have found my communication consistently prompt, clear, and earnest. If I can do something, it will be my privilege to let you know. If I can't, I will kindly say so. I embrace change, and so, my mindset and schedule welcome patience, flexibility, and a 'can do' approach to all. I have practiced Vipassana meditation since 2010 and have applied it well to my rather adventurous yet organized lifestyle.

More details about my language interests
I have taught English for the past eight years, mainly in France. In addition to three universities in the South of France, some of my previous clients included Microsoft, Allianz, TF1, Manpower Solutions, and EssilorLuxottica. Though I travel much more these days, I enjoy coaching remotely and advancing my book project. Before my pedagogic adventure, I lived in Los Angeles, California, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I worked in the entertainment industry as a Film Producer and Animation Casting Director. Afterward, I became a Marketing Representative for a renowned French theme park as well as for a few celebrities. Those activities were followed by my painting career, where I collaborated with interior designers and art galleries on the West Coast of the U.S. and throughout Europe.

More details about your skills

Communication is at the core of my skills, but not only. In addition to being competent with Adobe software, e.g., Photoshop, Premiere, and InDesign, my MS Pack, Google Workspace, MailChimp, WIX, Weebly, and Squarespace web-design skills are also solid. From an organizing and leading standpoint, children and adults respond very well to my guidance (see Testimonial page on ebaronsky.com). Last but not least, I am a published and gallery-exhibited painter and photographer who loves to cook and clean dishes. :)
