For this map, I chose to do an affinity map and use possible vacation destinations as my topic. I used the temperature and expense as the two contrasting points. I was trying to map out different areas that I would like to travel to and see where they clustered on the map. I encountered some issues when trying to decide what places fell under what weather categories, since they all obviously vary during different times of the year. I solved this by deciding to use the present time for temperature scales. My AHA! moment came when I saw that the lower, right hand corner of the map was almost completely empty. It is obviously more difficult to travel to warmer places for very little money. I learned that though it was on the more expensive side, a lot of the destinations I wanted to go to were in the top right corner, which was warm and more expensive. This was the section I chose to focus in on in my zoomed in shot.
