After secondary school, Varney spent a year working for VSO in Nairobi, Kenya, before taking his degree at the London School of Economics and then travelling the world for several years before ending up in Hong Kong.

During this time, he would help cover various events and had a short stint working as a voice actor for a dubbing firm founded by Matthew Oram, a fellow Radio Hong Kong broadcaster. In 1975, he moved to California where he began a career as a broadcast anchor at KEMO-TV (now KOFY-TV) in San Francisco. He was then recruited to join the Manhattan bureau of the newly formed 24-hour news network CNN, which launched on June 1, 1980.
