Hello everyone!

My name is Amy Zine and I'm from Aurora, Illinois which is a city near Chicago. I am a biology major, but I love to travel and to see the world from different perspectives.

This summer I biked up to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin with my dad. One of my favorite parts of the trip was when we biked through Veteran Acre Park, a park in northern Illinois. The park was a wave of hills going up and down one right after the other. Thankfully, the downhills were steeper and longer than the uphills for us. I remember racing down the hills and feeling the sensation in my stomach you get when you summit a roller coaster and begin the descent. You're not sure if you're falling or flying so you just keep going.
