About

I'm Laura Leu, a writer living in New York City. I enjoy telling strangers on the Internet my name, occupation and city of residence.

I've written for Women's Health, Maxim, Cosmo, Details, Health, Time Out New York, New York Post, McSweeney's and Salon, among others. In January 2010, my boyfriend Adam and I launched Navigeaters, a blog that documents our quest to eat a meal from every nation in the world without leaving NYC. I also created Self-Petting Zoo, your one-stop shop for masturbating animal videos.

If you're an editor who wants to give me work, you can read some clips below or take a look at my resume. If you're a horny old German man, you can watch this video of me playing my accordion while my friend pole-dances.

You can email me at laura.leu [at] gmail.com, or find me on Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, or standing right behind you. Psych!

I climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge (a sweet gift from my fella), which entailed getting suited up in a Ghostbusters jumpsuit, taking a breathalyzer test (I passed!), and then hiking to the top of the structure with stops along the way to take in the incredible views and squeeze various landmarks and whatnot. But the highlight for me was when I first stepped onto the bridge and looked down through the cracks to see…bunnies. Bunnies everywhere! Bunnies hopping around a patch of urban grass, surrounded by construction and under a bridge that 200,000 cars pass over every day. According to our guide, they think a couple of pet rabbits were dumped there by their deadbeat owners a few months ago, and as rabbits are wont to do, they got their freak on. And on. And on. Now their babies are having babies, and since a pair of rabbits can pop out 184 offspring in 18 months, what’s cute today might be a bunny-induced apocalypse tomorrow. For now, though, enjoy the pre-plague cuteness of the bridge bunnies by watching this video.
