Eager Tourist was founded in New York City in 2009 by Ross Belfer. Originating as a photo blog for Belfer's personal travel photography and daily documentation, Eager Tourist has since evolved into a curatorial travel service and online magazine that aims to spur travel, dialogue, collaboration and exploration through experiences, workshops and hyperlocal itineraries across the globe.
