Acclaimed author Mary Morris delivers a landmark travel memoir with Nothing to Declare, an intimate and unflinchingly honest account of her transformative journey traveling solo through Mexico and Central America. Seeking escape and self-understanding, Morris ventures alone into a world vibrant and alluring, yet fraught with challenges—navigating poverty, pervasive machismo, political unrest, and her own internal landscape of fear and desire. With stunningly vivid prose, she captures the complex realities of the places she visits and the profound, often perilous, beauty found in embracing the unknown. More than a travelogue, this is a courageous exploration of female independence, vulnerability, and the power of travel to reshape our understanding of the world and ourselves.
