Childless couple travel the world together

Two Bangladeshi tourists decided not to have children and spent their time visiting 102 countries and territories over 16 years.

Shahariath Sarmin, 45, and Rezaul Bahar, 47, got married in 2005 and moved to Connecticut, USA. The couple started traveling three years later, to the Bahamas.

The couple said they do not regret not having children but spending time and money traveling. In 16 years they have set foot on 7 continents, 102 countries and plan to visit 195 countries.

The couple said they "didn't want to have children to have more joy in life" and decided not to have children was "the right thing" after having visited many countries. "Traveling is a kind of happiness for us," the husband said of their passion for travel.

Bahar is an engineer, Sarmin is a business consultant. They spend most of their annual leave traveling. They take at least six to eight trips a year, spending a total of half a million dollars on trips over 16 years.

"We invest in tourism," the husband shared.

When asked why they travel so much, Bahar said it helps them "keep moving forward." For his wife, traveling is a time to relax, away from the pressures of work and daily housework. "The most important thing is that I travel with Bahar," Sarmin said.

Some of their favorite places to visit together include Antarctica, Alaska, Mongolia, Egypt, Iceland, Kenya, Morocco, Patagonia, Jordan, Chile and the Faroe Islands. His wife loves Alaska, USA, for its “quietness” and Kenya for its wildlife. Sarmin has had the opportunity to see wildlife up close in the Maasai Mara National Reserve.

Bahar's favorite place is Antarctica. "People have to understand the vastness. Everything is majestic," the male tourist said of Antarctica. They were also overwhelmed when they came to Egypt, which gave visitors the feeling of "going back in time."

The couple doesn't like to go to big cities except Dubai, where everything is "shiny", including the people, culture and architecture. This year, they are planning a spontaneous trip in March and are planning to go to Bulgaria in May.

While many people feel tired and jetlagged when traveling, they say they "rarely think about sleeping when they are abroad". Frequent travel has become their way of life.

Bahar said people who don't travel are "missing out on seeing what they could have seen" and encouraged everyone who is physically and mentally able to travel.
