Aged 19 and bored of where she grew up, Michaella craved sun and adventure. But her dream turned into a nightmare as she fell into an illicit world of drugs and excess.

Michaella tells the story of finding herself 5,000 miles from home in Peru, pretending to be a tourist at Machu Picchu, then walking 12kg of cocaine into an airport.

Michaella describes how she walked into Lima airport with a suitcase full of cocaine, hoping that everything she had been told about how easy it would be was true.
