Gary Teeter

Independent Travel Consultant, Hiatus Travel
Growing up in West Texas didn’t offer many opportunities to travel, however at 18 Gary Teeter left for a six week youth exchange in Sweden. Travelling across Scandinavia, he even visited the Arctic in Finland. It included a week on Malta in the Mediterranean. During college, Gary did an independent European tour on a train pass across Europe. As a high school teacher, he was selected to lead students to the Soviet Union for six weeks, visiting Russian cities such as Moscow & St. Petersburg. Gary also hosted a two week Western European tour for students, stopping at the traditional locations. All of these experiences ignited a livelong passion for Travel. In the summer of 2018, Gary spent two weeks touring Germany establishing great connections with many hotels and tour companies. And he has since shared his knowledge and explorations with multiple clients. Most recently, Gary hosted a group to visit Havana, Cuba (during the recent window accepting cruise ships.) Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, Gary enjoys planning cruises and unique trips for his clients.

Best Travel Pro Tip When travelling independently, the key word is flexibility. Sometimes, in spite of all the planning, things happen outside of anyone's control. Trains will be late. Bad weather will cause missed flight connections. Tour guides will be at the wrong hotel. Remember, it's a vacation, so don't get all stressed out. Contact your advisor, let them know of your situation, and then relax while they make adjustments. Go find a local pub. Go take a walking tour. Enjoy the extra time in a location.
