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. 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.

I'm also one-half of the Navigeaters duo, a couple who blogs about their quest to eat a meal from every nation in the world without leaving NYC.

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

Please welcome the newest members of the Leu family, Noelle and Holly, two tree frogs I found inside my dad and stepmom’s house when I was home for the holidays. (Occasionally, frogs will stow away on outdoor plants that are brought inside at the end of the summer.) I found Noelle sitting under the Christmas tree, and Holly was hiding out in a Poinsettia plant. I believe that classifies them as members of the Amphibia-Yuletidea family, but I’m no scientist. Anyway, before my dad could shoo them outside where they would likely become froggy popsicles, I snatched them up and smuggled them back to NYC with me. I’ll try not to become one of those annoying mommies who’s constantly showing off the cutest thing that her children did, but Noelle eating a cricket? So flippin’ cute.
