About Bren & Jeff
Cordially Invited was started by Bren and Jeff with a passion for experiencing new locations and the people who live in them.
Bren grew up in the shadow of Mount St. Helens in the state of Washington. In her early years raised exploring the rough terrain in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest and everything outdoors with a passion for adventure. With a history within the travel industry, she recognized the need for a travel advisor service, helping people build their travel bucket list of locations and helping them with the planning. From that, Cordially Invited was born.
Jeff, from the Chicago area of the Midwest, grew up as an Artist and an Athlete. Within his career as a Global Marketing Executive, he has traveled extensively. His love for Art & Culture has made a great match with Bren’s passion for exploring
Luxury Travel.
Bren & Jeff spend most of their time visiting new places worldwide so they can personally advise clients based on their firsthand experience.
They enjoy life with their spoiled Giant Schnauzer Maggie and Sheepadoodle Henry. Spending 50% of the year in Paradise Valley, AZ, and the remainder in the Chicagoland area.

KRISTI & JAy
KJ Adventures came about from Kristi and Jason's passion for travel and adventure! We have explored our way to 39 states and 18 countries, including places all over Australia/New Zealand, Europe, Asia, Central America, and our home here in America.
Kristi born and raised in the Washington state and Jason from the Indiana. We now live in Arizona, Florida and the Pacific Northwest when not traveling the world. Jason and Kristi met through their work in the mortgage lending industry which is where we spend our time when not planning traveling or traveling.
We love to dive in and research the endless possibilities in travel. To wander off the beaten bath, to meander through new places and be emersed with the locals as much as possible. One time we planned a two week trip to Australia/New Zealand in less than 4 hours, and left that night. We are very scheduled people but understand the importance of sometimes just going with the flow!
We would love to be a part of your next ADVENTURE!

How We Work
Step#1: Inquiry
Please fill-out our “Trip Inquiry” on the contact page,
then we can have a simple Conversation. This stage is focused on learning. We will have some questions for you and I’m sure you’ll have some questions for us. This is a key strategy session for the trip of your dreams. In the end, hopefully we will be a great fit for each other.
Step#2: Proposal
The research starts by us utilizing our pool of resources globally, knowledge, and our experience. Then, based on the kind of travel you have expressed from our earlier chat, we will provide you some travel options. You’ll then be able to assess your options and give us the feedback that we need to make this the trip of your dreams.
step#3: Fine tune
Once you have reviewed your options. Maybe the options we gave you are right on the mark or maybe they still need some work. The key is that this is your trip not ours, so please request adjustments to the options we have provided or just say, Go For It! The more information you have provided us the better your trip will be.
