Is there a surjective homomorphism from $Z$ to $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$?

Attempt: $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2 = \{(0,0),(1,0),(0,1),(1,1)\}$ I tried some examples of a map $f: \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ such that each element in $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ is mapped by some element, and checked that it wasn't a homomorphism; so I think it doesn't exist. Is this correct? How do I prove this?
