Name: Cam Thiel
Position at Manifest: Director of Sales and Member Services
Bio: Cameron has loved to travel for as long as he can remember. After spending over two years in Central America after college, he knew his path would include travel.
Cameron has worked with United Airlines, Exclusive Resorts, Inspirato, and Rothschild Safaris. He comes to Manifest with a passion for travel, and a deep knowledge of the industry, with 20 years of experience.
How long have you worked in the travel industry? I have worked in the travel industry since 1994, starting with an Airline called Casino Express, which flew 737-200’s from all over the country back to Elko, Nevada to gamble at the Red Lion Casino.
What’s your favorite vacation you’ve ever taken? The best vacation I have ever taken was a 14-day trek in the Langtang Valley of Nepal. Kathmandu is a magical city.
Are there any places you’d like to visit that you haven’t yet been to? I have never been to Peru, and I am excited to go to Machu Pichu in the near future.
What’s your ideal, bucket-list vacation? My ideal bucket list vacation would have equal parts of adventure, culture, culinary, and a lot of exercise.
Best piece of travel advice or travel motto? TRAVEL — never let school get in the way of a good education. My kids will always have more stamps in their passports than years on this planet.
