Schapelle Corby heads off on road trip with her pet pooch

She’s the convicted drug smuggler who hasn’t exactly had the best experience with airports.

So it’s no surprise Schapelle Corby’s preferred way of getting around is by car.

On Saturday, the 40-year-old felon took to Instagram to share an adorable photo with her pet pooch Lucille as they headed off together on a road trip.

‘Road trippin” the Gold Coast-based beauty captioned the snap, which saw her cuddling up to her four-month old Foxy Maltese cross.

While Schapelle did not reveal her exact location, she appeared to be venturing in a rural setting, with rolling green hills and a lazing cow seen in the background.

It also seemed the brunette was not alone on the journey- with a mystery passenger having captured the picture of the drug smuggler and her pup.

With the car door open to take in the clean country air, the beauty was no doubt enjoying the wide open spaces after almost a decade cooped up in Kerobakan Prison.

Looking simply sensational, Schapelle’s beauty secret appears to be freedom- with her dazzling smile and fresh face belying the fact she is forty years of age.

Meanwhile, it appears the Queenslander brought along a book to amuse herself on the car ride.

In another snap shared on Saturday, the Australian icon revealed she was reading Operation Playboy: The Explosive True Story of the Surfer Playboys Turned International Drug Lords, and the Cops Who Hunt Them Down.

Although the tome is a far cry from Schapelle’s own personal story, there does appear to be some similarities- as the brunette was once a keen wave chaser who was caught with 4.2 kg of cannabis in her boogie board bag.

And while the star has always maintained her innocence, it appears she is looking forward in life- having quickly become a beloved social media star since a return to Australia earlier in the year.

Boasting 193,000 Instagram followers, the avid reader was inundated with comments after sharing her book recommendation.

‘Where can I buy a copy?’ one inquisitive fan asked.

‘Book shops’, Schapelle generously replied.

One user even recommended the beautician turned bookworm should start up her own online reader’s group.

‘Let us know what you think of it.. is this the Pelle Book Club?’
