This is the story of Zach Johnson, a senior at Yale who interned at Voxer over the summer.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As summer vacation began, my roommates at Yale and I departed humid New Haven and headed for our various jobs, internships, and adventures. Our plans for our last summer as college students would take each of us to many different places doing many different things.<\/p>\n<p>I was happy to have found a summer position training in San Francisco at Voxer. While I am studying in my last year at Yale, I am still a bay area native through and through. Working at Voxer was a fortunate circumstance for my friends and I because the app was our communications hotline that allowed my good friends to stay in touch no matter where in the world they were.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"bislr-user-image\" title=\"tumblr_inline_ms04vgPvsh1qz4rgp.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/voxer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/1f2f09601be09ceaa836c5e22859674c.jpg\" alt=\"tumblr_inline_ms04vgPvsh1qz4rgp.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"373\" data-bislr-image=\"\/\/customer-images.bislr.com\/0-1379982458963423\" data-bislr-image-id=\"F60A661D-CE8D-4D12-A31C-7D0809E0F77D\" data-bislr-http-cdn=\"https:\/\/voxer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/1f2f09601be09ceaa836c5e22859674c.jpg\" data-bislr-https-cdn=\"https:\/\/c940564.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/0\/1379982458963423\/1f2f09601be09ceaa836c5e22859674c.jpg\" data-initial-dimensions=\"500:373\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tim and Nick would be working hard at internships in New York, Luke would be riding a dirt bike across the Serengeti for a Kenya based NGO.

At the same time, the group can discuss our travel arrangement and make plans for our return to school. Voxer is great and it is definitely something we will continue to use when we get back to school in the fall. I couldn\u2019t image having to miss out on all of my friend\u2019s summer adventures if we hadn\u2019t had Voxer.<\/p>\n<p><i>About me: I am working as Biz-Dev Intern here at Voxer while I am home for the summer. I\u2019m about to start my last year at Yale, where I study history and row on the heavyweight crew team. Although I go to school back East, I am a Bay Area native through and through. When I\u2019m not rowing, I can be found mountain biking, hiking, and swimming.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the second installment of \u201cDispatches From Vox Nation\u201d, a Voxer blog series chronicling how Voxer employees use Voxer..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[285972381,285986410],"yst_prominent_words":[659313188,659313191,659313185,659313190,659313184,659313183,659311447,659311968,659311973,659313189,659313192,659313186,659312783,659311967,659311960,659312094,659312690,659311410,659313143,659313187],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4799,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236\/revisions\/4799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
