We all know you must have deep pockets and long arms if you want to spend some time abroad.<\/p>\n

And once the big decision has been made, you have to be prepared to live on bread and water while you are there.<\/p>\n

But just because you have to pinch your pennies does not mean you have to stay at home all day. At many tourist attractions one has to pay entrance fees, but there is still much to do for those who have to watch their spending.<\/p>\n

Go for a walk in a park<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the things I appreciate most here in Ireland is that the parks are beautifully maintained. It is clean, it is safe and the lush green vegetation is unrivalled.<\/p>\n

If you are lucky and the sun is shining, you will see many other people in the park: Many moms and babies, many joggers and also others who just want to take a break.<\/p>\n

Three of my favourite parks here in Dublin are Bushy Park (the trees create a fairy-tale impression and one feels like Snow White strolling in the forest), St Stephen\u2019s Green (if you want to watch people, this is the place for you) and Phoenix Park (not only is this the largest fenced park in Europe, but it is also a place where you feel kilometres away from the city \u2013 here you can take a deep breath and if you are lucky you may also come across a few relatively tame reindeer).<\/p>\n
