About the work exchange program
Position: Volunteer, workaway, intern, digital nomad, working holiday in Denmark
Description
Our Bed & Breakfast is situated in an old deanery (approx. 160 years old) in a small village. I (Helene) am 61 years old, I live in an apartment at the B&B. My son (Daniel) & his wife (Melania) also live at the B&B in one of the apartments.
We are also using the house for other business-related activities, besides the B&B. We run some online activities from here and have clients for psychotherapy and courses for private, companies and the government. WorkAways have nothing to do with these jobs.
International travelers, volunteers, digital nomads, etc. spending time at our B&B on a work and travel program will find a beautiful, peaceful, relaxing place to find yourself. Experiencing the local area or go by bus or train to nearby interesting cities, Horsens, Skanderborg, Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense, Vejle, Fredericia, Silkeborg, Billund, Copenhagen, Hamburg, etc.
Culture
Working and interacting with Danes allows international travelers to build personal relationships and learn about Danish culture from a local perspective.
In the B&B, we have many international customers, mainly from Europe, where the possibility of meeting new people also occurs.
Help us understand your culture with your insight from growing up and living there.
Help
At our Bed & Breakfast, we need help with cleaning, gardening, general maintenance, and renovation/building of smaller projects.
Why do we need your help?
There is always enough to do when you have a big garden and a big house, and we think it’s a great way to get some help and meet other cultures, in exchange for food, lodging, and insight into the Danish culture.

Law
Because of the Danish law, all WorkAways outside the EU have to follow some laws when they apply for a Working Holiday Visa. European citizens have no restrictions. If you arrive here on a Working Holiday Visa it is normally granted for a year. How much you are allowed to work during that year differs from country to country, see the links below.
