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!

Diane flippin’ Sawyer interviewed me and Adam about Navigeaters (video above)! And here’s the ABC News article that goes along with it. I really hope this means Ms. Sawyer will consider eating cow dong with us.

If you haven’t started following Navigeaters on Tumblr, now’s your chance! We’d also very much appreciate you recommending us for the food blog category in the Tumblr directory—even if you’ve recommended us before. (They take new votes every week, and we need them to surpass all meme-overloading “Fuck Yeah [FOOD ITEM]” blogs.) Come on, people! Help us pulverize the FuckYeahCilantro blog into a fine guacamole.

This video is one of the culinary adventures from Navigeaters.com, a blog in which Adam and I document our quest to eat a meal from every country in the world without leaving New York City. (4 down, 190 to go!) If you’re on Tumblr, would you do us a solid and follow us and maybe re-blog a post when you like it? Also, would you be a lamb and recommend us for the food category? And then, will you help me move and also tell me if this mole looks funny? OK, now I’m just getting favor-greedy, but really, if you could give Navigeaters some clicks and eyeballs, we’ll be ethernet-ly grateful.
