About me

Hello! I’m Jack Turner, and I’m thrilled to introduce myself as the founder of Cohesion Travel. At 25 years old, I’ve had the opportunity to dive deep into the worlds of sales and customer service, gaining valuable insights into what truly makes people tick. Currently, I work in housing insurance claims and previously served as a subject matter expert in roadside assistance. This experience has sharpened my problem-solving skills and given me a better understanding of true consumer needs.

Travel has always been my greatest passion, and it’s this passion that inspired me to launch Cohesion Travel. My goal with this start-up is to create a platform where travelers can connect with locals and experience destinations in a way that goes beyond the typical tourist path. I’m dedicated to building a company that not only offers unique and memorable travel experiences but also fosters genuine connections between people and places.

In early 2024, I had the pleasure of visiting the Philippines for a week to catch up with a close friend of mine in Angeles City. While I was there my friend was working a few days, so I decided to explore Angeles City on my own. Despite the city’s large size and vibrant atmosphere, I found it surprisingly difficult to book a tour guide. My search led me to several websites, but none seemed user-friendly or engaging enough to inspire me to make a reservation. Frustrated, I ultimately decided not to book a tour.

This experience left me puzzled and initially made me wonder if perhaps Angeles City simply didn’t have much to offer. However, I quickly discovered how wrong I was. Angeles City boasts incredible nightlife, rich culture, and fantastic food—elements that any tour guide would highlight to showcase the city’s true essence.

This realization sparked a thought, how many other destinations around the world face the same problem? How many amazing places are overlooked because they lack accessible and engaging tour options? This experience not only highlighted a gap in the market but also ignited my passion to ensure that more travelers can discover the hidden gems that every city and town has to offer.

I’m excited about the journey ahead and eager to share the adventures that Cohesion Travel has in store. Thanks for joining me on this exciting path!
