Do you remember the TV show called Locked Up Abroad? It’s no
longer in active production, but you can still see past seasons on
some different platforms like Hulu and Apple TV.
Every
episode of the show was a true story of someone who was traveling
outside their own country. Actually I seem to recall that most of the
people were Americans traveling outside the US. And they would make a
really bad decision to do something like trying to smuggle drugs or
other illegal things into this other country. And of course they
would get caught, and now they’re arrested and in jail in a place
where they don’t really know the rules or procedures, and there
might not even be anyone there who speaks English. It’s a true
nightmare scenario.
My
guest today is Emily. She has personally been through that type of
experience, and she told that story here on the podcast 5 years ago.
She
was the one who tried to get through airport security, while having
bags of cocaine taped to her body. That was not a good day for Emily.
But wait til you hear what she’s done with her life since then.
