Welcome! Bienvenido! Bon Jour! Benvenuto! Bem-vindo!
Although we have always loved to travel, this blog was truly born from a cross-country move from Washington State to Florida in 2016 with our three dogs. Only after the relocation did I realize how many pieces had to fall perfectly into place to pull it off without a hitch. Organizing and planning the trip came naturally to me, and seeing how amazed people were by our journey, I realized I could help others in a similar situation.
That's how ReviewTrip came to life. We share our experiences and life lessons—from our moves cross-country to our most recent move across the world. You will find a complete, proven pet relocation roadmap here.
