Schapelle Corby's 'important' travel advice: 'Hope everyone hears'
Convicted drug smuggler turned reality star Schapelle Corby has offered some "important" travel advice to her followers ahead of the Christmas holidays.
Schapelle was convicted of smuggling cannabis into Bali after 4.2kg of the drug was found in her unlocked bodyboard bag in 2004. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison and was released in 2014 after always maintaining her innocence.
After serving nine years behind bars, she went on to appear on Dancing with the Stars and SAS Australia and has settled back into life in Australia where she now designs clocks.
In a video posted to Instagram to thank those who bought her designs this year, she also offered some travel advice to people over the holiday period.
“If you’re gonna travel, most importantly, keep your bags locked,” she said.
“Always lock your bags.
“If you go outside your hotel, which of course you will, keep your bags locked."
She warned people to self-distance at the airport and reiterated the importance of locking bags.
