Merida connects European students with real companies in Colombia. We're a Netherlands-based team that removes the friction, so the leap feels less like a gamble and more like a runway.
Merida exists to make interning in Colombia genuinely easy. We find the placement, sort the paperwork and stay on the ground with you, all the way to your first day in Medellín.
We're the people on the other side of the ocean who make the connection, and we stay reachable once you land.
Genuine roles at real companies, in cities you'll be proud to call home for a season.
Merida is run by a student who made the move first, so we know exactly where the friction is.
"I moved from the Netherlands to Medellín for my own internship, and saw how hard the logistics were to figure out alone. Merida is what I wish I'd had."
It's a bridge between students who want the experience of a lifetime and companies who want driven, European talent. I've made the leap myself, so I know exactly where the friction is, and how good it feels when it just works.
Whether you're a student or a company, this is where it starts.
