Law:
Because of Danish law, all WorkAways have to be between 18 and 31 years of age when they apply for a Working Holiday Visa (Canadians up to 36 years of age). 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.

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.
