A couple who go on vacation 10 a year, love to relax and say they prefer to spend money creating memories and being a little selfish.
Hannah Bird, 25, from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, and her husband Charlie Camper, 24, currently have no children and are in their “DINK era”, which stands for “double income without children”.
The couple love to travel on vacation as often as they can and have visited 35 countries together in total.
They immerse themselves in experiences such as skydiving, skiing and snorkeling and would not change their lifestyle to have children.
After getting married in September 2023, the couple says they are constantly inundated with people asking when they will have a family, but it is not something they are planning yet.
