A couple with a 21-year age gap who are sometimes mistaken to be father and daughter say "age is just a number".
Hillary, 35, and her husband, Kris, 57, started dating in 2018 while working for the same Fortune 500 healthcare company in North Carolina, US.
They had both previously been married to people their own age but marriages broke down and the pair connected over their mutual love of travel.
Their relationship blossomed and now the couple travel around the US in their supersize RV.
Hillary says that Kris is sometimes mistaken for her father, but the pair usually just laugh it off.
Kris has two sons from his previous marriage, aged 25 and 23.
Hillary, from New Orleans, Louisiana, US, said: "We recognise that there is a 20 plus year age gap so we don't get offended when this happens and just let people know that we are in fact a couple."
The couple have widely different interests, Kris is a self proclaimed "petrol-head" while Hillary is passionate about hiking, photography, and dogs.
The pair say their differing age most shows in relation to what music and TV they like.
Hillary said: "We grew up in different generations and have very different taste in those."
"When we first met I thought he was a lot younger and he thought I was older - we initially didn’t realise there was that much of a difference.
"We both had big wanderlust, it just drew me to him, and we were able to travel to lots of places with our work."
The pair became official in late 2018 and eventually moved into an apartment together in Durham, North Carolina.
Hillary said: “Everything just seemed to work, we compliment each other really well.
“The age gap brings a unique aspect to our relationship - as we’re at different points in life, they complement each other.
“I trust Kris’ experience - he is capable of handing a lot of things - especially mechanical fixes and stressful situations, while I am more technologically savvy.
"I am the planner where Kris is more the spontaneous one."
The couple made plans to travel all around the world, but then in March 2020 when the world came to a screeching halt due to the pandemic, their plans all had to be scrapped.
the couple went down a YouTube rabbit hole of watching channels with people who own RVs and became inspired.
Hillary said: “Neither one of us had ever travelled in an RV – it was totally new to us.
“We dove right in and found an RV online and made the spontaneous decision to start RVing.
“We flew to out of state to pick it up – we didn’t even know how to start the thing and the whole way driving home we were like 'what have we got ourselves into?'.
“But once we got the hang of it we just loved the freedom it provided."
The couple travelled around the US in their motorhome for a year while still owning their house and working remote.
After the first year, they decided to fully invest in the nomad lifestyle, selling their home and most of their possessions to live on the road full time.
