The Experience

Join me on an eco-friendly house construction project in Valencia! I'm Philippine, a documentary filmmaker and language teacher who started building this beautiful home in 2025. The structure is up, but there's still plenty to do: plastering the facade with lime, interior clay work, wooden floors, kitchen building. I work mostly alone now and would love some help. Accomodation and vegetarian/vegan meals provided. @labellota.vlc

My first Worldpackers experience was amazing! I met Philipine and she immediately took me to an event where I connected with locals from Valencia. Her home was beautiful, and I absolutely loved staying in the charming trailer. The food was incredible, honestly gourmet! Philipine took me to discover the nearby village, meet new people, and try amazing local food and drinks. The work was good and I was happy to learn and help. I feel very lucky to have had my first experience with her and her project. Thanks for everything

I had a wonderful time helping Philipine build her eco-friendly house. She is kind and welcoming - not only did she teach us practical building skills, but also generously shared her knowledge of environmental sustainability. She took great care of us, making sure we always felt at home. We also visited nearby towns and joined local activities. It was a simple but grounded life in a small town, but I felt deeply connected to the local community. Highly recommended to anyone looking for hands-on learning and a genuine cultural connection!

Philippine is a gem of a person! And to this day she has been one of the best hosts I've had since I started volunteering with Worldpackers! She is a very empathetic person, I learned a lot from living with her, as she is a pleasant, fun, and open to exchange. The project of her house is beautiful, and it was very good to learn—from making the most of food to preparing clay for the walls. The experience was, without a doubt, unique and transformative! I highly recommend!!

Philippine is a very dear and kind person, easy to get along with and to talk to! The work is as expected in the construction of an ecological house, and we learned many things here about the construction processes.
So much, really, every day something new. She took us to know many places like Lagos, beaches. She welcomed me in Valencia when I arrived and sheltered me with a lot of affection. I feel that I gained a friend here in Algar de Palancia. And there was a week when she let me go sightseeing in Spain with friends I made here myself.
So I can only thank you for everything. One day I hope to return. ❤️
