Our story

Based in New Zealand, alongside you in person

Pathway Adventures is different because our team works directly in New Zealand, from our office in Glenfield, Auckland. When clients arrive in New Zealand, we can keep walking alongside them and help with practical needs such as banking, schools, housing and settling into life here.

  • Professional. Every commitment in writing, every fee itemised separately.
  • Transparent. We are clear about what we do ourselves and what must go through a licensed professional.
  • Client-first. If a pathway is wrong for you, we say so rather than sell you something you don’t need.

Our team

The people behind every journey

Not simply a service, but a team who have actually lived and worked in New Zealand. Each brings a different strength — together forming a support system that carries clients from the first steps through to the long-term decisions.

Bryan Hieu Nguyen

Director, co-founder

Three master’s degrees, earned in the Netherlands, New Zealand and Vietnam, together with a postgraduate qualification in Vietnamese–English translation from Victoria University of Wellington.

He has held a number of senior leadership roles at major banks in Vietnam, with years of experience across finance and banking, retail and corporate clients, and large-scale management.

In New Zealand, he has practical experience in finance, investment, property and travel, and connects clients with specialists across education, employment and residency.

That combination — a finance background, international management experience and a practical grasp of New Zealand — is what lets him match clients to the right specialist, the right service and the right opportunity.
