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