TravelMap

Pitch

1 sentence that explains the value proposition of the application. How would you explain it to a potential business partner, team member, or investor?

Imagine an application that would allow you to chose from a list of countries to travel to based on your budget and income. Imagine you are able to get data based on that country's exchange rate and cost of living that could assist you in deciding what places are most viable to visit based on how much you are willing/able to spend. The app would allow you to view countries around the globe that display real-time data viewable in a visual format. This app would be designed and built using D3; The main page would be a map of the globe, allowing you to click on countries and take you to a page that indicates information about that particular nation and your ability to go there or understand what it is like to live there from a monetary perspective.


Problem

1-3 sentences describing the problem that you are trying to solve.

Using an API that gathers data on currency exchange rates to recommend countries to visit based on your budget. I want users to be able to view a map that highlights countries that display a color (from a spectrum of colors demonstrating low vs high costs of living) that indicate a suitable place to travel based on income/budget for a trip.


Solution

1-3 sentences describing how your application will solve that problem.

Users will be able to enter income or budget for a trip, then get visual data back that indicates countries that will be worth traveling to based on dollar per day spent.


Target Audience

1-3 sentences describing what type of user your app would be applicable to.

This app would be applicable to people who love to travel or are traveling to some part of the world and have options about where they might want to go. It will be appealing for those with a tighter budget but more of an open playing field for choosing where to go.
