Restless Nomad's Shop

Hello, my name is Brandon aka Restless Nomad and I love to travel and take photos! Between 2003 and 2009 I taught English at various locations in China and visited several cities including Wuhan, Beijing, Xi'an, Hong Kong and others. In late 2009 I returned to the USA and enlisted in the US Navy (motivated by more travelling opportunities as well as educational benefits). I entered the DEP (Delayed Entry Program) for one year and in June 2011 went to boot camp. I ended up working for the Navy from 2011-2015 and from 2012 - 2015 was stationed in Atsugi, Japan near Yokohama and Tokyo. I bought a decent camera and started taking pics of Japan as well as all of the ports we visited when we were deployed at sea. In June 2015 I received an Honorable Discharge from the US Navy and returned to Southern California to spend the summer with my family and look for jobs. I decided to return to China to teach English once again as well as take more photos of the country. I arrived in Kunming, China in September 2015. It is currently 2022 and I am staying in the Philippines.
