After being reminded of this quote from Mark Twain, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime,” and noticing our partners are getting as excited as we are, The Road to embedded world 2023 is going to enhance our travels to go to as many different corners as Twain suggested.
