Show latest update from from Christina's blog New Blog Hello friends and faithful blog followers! I just wanted to give you a heads up that I have created a new blog for my trip this summer. I would absolutely love it if you would follow along with that one too! Hopefully between my camera, my iphone, and my ipad I will actually be able to post more pictures this time around! My new blog can be found at www.xtinag.com. Book mark it people! Peace. Love. Bikes.

Christina's bio: Hey all! My name is Christina Genco and I am currently a junior at Boston University in the School of Hospitality. After school I?m hoping to do some kind of party planning or cake decorating. I love graphic design and taking pictures, and am also pursuing a minor in visual arts. I?m originally from Atlanta, Ga. But, my family and I moved up to Boston about 10 years ago. Since then I have moved over 13 times and lived in just about every town within Boston, but finally settled in Newton Ma, about 4 years ago. While I love Boston I really need a change of scenery. And what better way to do that them traveling across the county on my bike helping out and educating people along the way. I love traveling, seeing new places, meeting new people, and trying new things. Hopefully I will be able to do all of these things this summer. All my life I have been extremely active. All throughout high school I played soccer, basketball, and lacrosse. But once I got to college I wasn?t doing anything and felt a little lost. So, I started riding my bike more and more and found that helped me get rid of some energy. I ride my bike every day and everywhere and absolutely love it. In high school I took a trip down to Louisiana and Mississippi to help out after hurricane Katrina. It was probably one of the most amazing and eye opening experiences ever and I wish I could have stayed longer. Since then I have been looking for a trip to take and when I heard about Bike and Build I knew it was right for me. I first heard about Bike & Build this past summer from a friend and ever since then could not stop thinking about it. I have had some experience with affordable housing but not much. I am so PUMPED to be able to have the opportunity to take part in Bike & Build and definitely help out learn more about affordable housing and ways to help. I think that everyone should get involved in community service and help out those in need. It?s such an easy thing to do and really means a lot to people. Hopefully my participation in Bike and Build will inspire others to do something on their own.
