Meet the DINKS ticking off a "bucket list" before having kids - by going on holiday every month, having spontaneous date nights and weekend lie-ins.
Hillary Bowles, 31, and her husband, Logan, 30, are currently child-free and in their “DINK era” – which stands for ‘dual income no kids’.
The couple - who have been married for six years - spend their free time travelling, going on spontaneous dinner dates and doing workouts together.
Hillary and Logan, who works in private equity, can book time off at short notice to jet off on a break – and they go on holiday once a month.
They believe enjoying their current lifestyle will make them “better parents” in the future and they’ll have “no regrets” when they decide to start a family.
Hillary, a content creator, living in Charlotte, North Carolina, US, said: “We’re care free and young and don’t have the responsibilities.
“We are in our DINK era.
“I think it is going to make us better parents - as we’ll have no regrets.”
Hillary and Logan met while at college, aged 20, and tied the knot in July 2017.
Despite feeling a pressure to have children straight away, they decided they want to wait and continue to enjoy a “care free” lifestyle.
Hillary said: “Eventually we know we want children but we want to enjoy our marriage together first.
“We don’t give in to the pressure of having kids.
“Since the second we got married we get the question every day – ‘When are you having kids?’ Are you done travelling yet?’
“I have friends who have struggled with infertility – I don’t like that question.”
The pair have always loved travelling together and have a bucket list of destinations they want to cross off before they have kids – including Australia.
They have already ticked off 20 countries - such as a safari in South Africa, Costa Rica and the Amalfi coast in Italy.
Hillary said: “It’s very spontaneous.
“Typically we go away once a month.
“In summer it is back to back.
“We have a bucket list before we have kids - we’re getting to the end.”
Hillary and Logan are lucky their jobs allow them to be flexible with time off.
Hillary said: “We have no priorities – we do whatever we want.
“We have lots of date nights.
“We like to workout.”
On a typical weekend, if they are not travelling, the couple love to spend time together at home and will enjoy lie-ins.
