Work exchange in Denmark! Our Bed & Breakfast is situated in an Old Deanery (approx. 160 years old) in a small village. I am 59 years old, I live in an apartment at the B&B. My son who is 34 years old also lives at the B&B in one of the apartments. We are also using the house for other business-related activities, besides the B&B.
