Richard Euston - Study From Home Team Leader

I’m a proud New Zealander and feel very lucky to call this beautiful country my home.  After school I worked in advertising for over 4 years.  I then went travelling, heading to the 1994 football World Cup in the USA and then on to London for my OE.  I started my travel career as a Tour Guide with Top Deck Travel.  After training, I worked 3 European summers and was able to travel to places like Russia, Morocco and Turkey, and get paid for it!

When I wasn’t working I travelled a lot, including an overland trip from Turkey to Nepal and Eastern & Southern Africa.  I’ve now been to nearly 60 countries.  After 4 years away I came back to NZ and worked for Flight Centre as a travel consultant.  I spent 10 years in the Flight Centre group before moving to APX, where I worked for over 6 years.

Outside of ITC, I run a business called Bumper Ball and still play social football.  My wife Stacey is also a tutor here at ITC and we have 3 beautiful daughters.  I look forward to inspiring the next generation in the travel industry.
