Will Medina, founder of Destination Wedding Expert and creator of Destination Wedding University, passed away on February 14, 2023. Born on May 6, 1985 in Higuey, Dominican Republic, Medina was known for moonlighting as a merman and helping other travel agents build six-figure businesses. He founded the Destination Wedding Playbook & Destination Weddings Expert, LLC, a boutique travel agency that focuses primarily on destination weddings to Mexico and the Caribbean. Medina served his clients worldwide while mentoring dozens of agents around the US in growing their businesses.
Medina is a destination weddings specialist who teaches other travel professionals through his website at www.willmedina.us. He has been a popular romance travel agent mentor and international speaker. In early 2018, Medina saw a niche need in the travel industry: travel agents wanted to provide unparalleled service for their destination wedding clients but didn’t have the kinds of hands-on learning opportunities that would help them gain.
Destination weddings and honeymoons celebrated in Morocco are something to experience, with architecture, decor, cuisine, and tradition. The grandiose, palatial, sprawling resort hotels combined with heartfelt Moroccan hospitality will have you feeling like royalty. Medina built his life around his passion of travel by specializing in destination weddings.

Is Medina still with his wife?
The split was driven, it was said, by Gabriel Medinas surprise marriage to actress and model Yasmin Brunet, whom Medina has since divorced.
“They have always lived through Gabriels career. Imposing discipline, giving strength and controlling everything closely. Now, he is no longer a boy and shares his life with his wife. It is undeniable how passionate they are,” said a friend.
The millionaire three-time world champ slashed his mammys five gees a month allowance down to three-and-a-half, and Simone and Charlie sold the fabled Gabriel Medina Institute in Maresias, which they got in the breakup deal, for around two-mill US.
Charlie and Simone got a house in a lux condo and the not so flashy joint they lived in before Gabriel got his first title.

Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or purse snatching arent very common. The populace is generally respectful and the presence of religious police also helps maintain order. However, as in any city, its always important to be alert and keep an eye on your belongings.
Tap water:Moderate. While the tap water in Medina, is technically safe to drink as its treated and filtered, it may not suit everyone due to differences in purification practices and water sources from what your body may be used to. It can also often have a different taste due to the desalination process. For this reason, many locals and tourists prefer drinking bottled water, especially if they have a sensitive stomach.

Should I go to Mecca or Medina first?
– After a long journey from your home to Saudi, having to perform Umrah straight away (or after a few hours of rest) can be tiring. Going to Madinah first means you can take it easy and get all the rest you need before your Umrah.
– Spending a few days in the calm environment of Madinah allows you to get used to the weather and conditions before making your way to the hustle and bustle of Makkah.
– It is sunnah (a practice of the Prophet, Peace be upon Him) to wear the Ihram from Thul Hulaifah, a place just outside Madinah, and then go for Umrah.
NOTE: During Covid, going to Madinah first is the safest option because you have to pre-book your Umrah via the Eatmarna app. You will only be able to book it when you get to Saudi. If there are no slots available, you will be spending a longer time in Ihram. Going to Madinah first enables you to book a few days in advance, so youll manage to get a slot that suits your timing.

📹 My Intestines Got Sucked Out In A Swimming Pool | TRULY
A horrific swimming pool accident left a teenager without her intestines and unable to eat food for the last 10 years. When she was …
If anyone is interested in how she’s doing now, this is from the update she made in December 2022: “I’ve been living with my abdomen open since 2009. It has healed some, but will never fully heal. Since I dont have any intestines I can not eat food. There is no way for me to digest or ansorb food. Sometimes I chew food for taste but I have to spit it out, I can’t swallow it. I can drink anything I’d like, but I dont get any of the nutrients because it come right out through a tube attached to my abdomen. Since I can’t absorb any nutrients by traditional eating and drinking I am on Total Parenteral Nutrition or TPN IV fluids for 20 hours a day, daily. Although TPN has kept me alive all these years it causes severe liver damage and consequently I am currently in liver failure. I recieve my TPN through a central line port that goes to my heart. So, as of 2022 I am currently needing a 5 organ multiveseral transplant( small intestines, large intestines, liver, pancreas, and stomach). \r The medical issues alone have been a massive struggle but financial obstacles have made the road to recovery that much harder. Since I am not an American citizen and I didn’t have a social security number, I didn’t qualify for health insurance for over 14 years of my life. As you can imagine, things were not very easy. After years and hundreds of lawyers, thank God I was able to get a social security number.\r Because of this I can now obtain health insurance and thank God the second transplant is possible.
Wow! If I was her mother, I wouldn’t let her go anywhere either! She’s not being “controlling,” she’s being protective after what happened to her baby girl. And what an amazing baby girl she has! Salma just jumps back into the pool like it’s no big deal…after such horrific trauma. She’s an incredible person! 😍❤❤ Salma: Your story has convinced me 100% to be an organ donor! I will be showing this article to my four teenage children as well, to show them how important it is to donate organs after death.
Update: She’s in a very bad condition right now and she needs to raise $4000000 in order to get her 5 organ transplants. She isn’t even on the waiting list yet cuz of her financial position. She needs help. She’s in desperate need of help in order to stay alive. Please please please, if you want to help, please help by donating money through her gofundme link. Or if u can’t help by doing that at least keep sharing her story until someone who can donate will. She’s grasping at life and in need of immense help guys.💔💔 Update 2: Thank u to everyone who shared and donated, although Salma isn’t on the waiting list yet, she finally has insurance!! (P.S the insurance is still not enough to cover all her medical expenses so she’s still in dire need of the donations coming in so keep sharing and donate if u can!!)
The daughter says she’s a “controlling mother” like, girl, the last time she let you out of her sight you lost 4 organs. I can understand why she might be a bit protective. Edit: I don’t know why people keep getting mad at this comment. Learn how to read or something, cause you’re annoying and I don’t have the energy to explain over and over that this was obviously not meant to be negative. I know she wasn’t being serious. SHUT UP. SHUT. UP. Seriously, why do people make it their life goal to misunderstand things so they can be self righteous on the internet? Can you not see I’ve gotten the same reply 50 times? If you’re gonna be annoying at least be original.
After perusal such wonderful u tubes such as your family’s, it makes me feel so selfish! Your daughter has gone thru so much, and is a happy girl, just accepting every day as we all should. We don’t truly realize how lucky we are to be healthy until we see what some children have had to endure with sickness. I truly bless parents as you, who continues to make life as normal and happy for their child, even tho they have to endure so much more than others and accept it as part of live without resentment. I pray your daughter gets the help she needs to live as normal a life as others.
I truly wished I had the money to help cause this child/teen deserves it and her mother deserves peace. You never know what you’re gonna get with each day. Both herself and mom are brave at heart and I can only imagine the pain her mother feels to see her child in this situation. Hopefully she’ll get what she needs in the future. Although this was filmed and aired so many years ago, I would love to see a follow-up in the present of her life.
Salma is so strong and amazing. She’s goes swimming after her accident like it’s nothing, she has such a strong and confident personality. It’s like nothing can get in her way and she will accomplish everything she wants to accomplish. It’s so inspiring how she takes on every challenge life has for her while still living her best life. She’s amazing just like her mother. Her mom seems to be so kind and loving and like an amazing caregiver and supporter. Seeing their love and their close relationship with each other really made me cry from joy. They are such a great team despite the difficult situation about her health and injury. ❤
I am gobsmacked. I’ve had a brain tumour, with resulting paranoia, terrible hallucinations and finally seizures before it was resolved. What she went through, and continues to, is incredible. Much worse than what I have gone through, and I think she is amazing, with such a strong outlook, and what a smart girl!
Her mother looks deteriorated, tired, stressed, sad, scared but finds the strength to continue fighting right along her daughter. She is suffering side by side, literally with her daughter. Cant sleep, worried about Bill’s and God forbid, death of a child. With all that being said I can now also include mentioning that she’s dealing with a teenage girl which is the icing on the cake of worries. God bless them and everyone in the world that’s dealing with anything similar or even worse.
I see it has affected her growth, it’s quite impressive that the human body can survive without all those parts. EDIT: even with the intervention of science, the body is amazing how well it can adapt to foreign body parts for eg. Artificial valves, implants etc. Some people are still missing the point.
Kim Kardashian makes $3m for tweeting, somebody show her this. There are people with billions who can help. This young lady is amazing. If I had the money I would pay it in a heartbeat. My son has cystic fibrosis and there is no cure for him right now. I know the feeling of praying and hoping and making the best out of your situation. Selma is amazing. So beautiful, smart, and what a great personality. My son also has machines he uses all day to keep his lungs working. Everyone deserves happiness xoxo
RIP Salma. A big lesson to everyone out there to be really careful in swimming pools and mindful of their drainage system. So grateful for your sacrifice for educational purpose but sorry for the loss of a beautiful soul, and the loss to your family. To live 10 years without enjoying food, etc must have been so hard. What a tragedy.
This has actually happened several times. Sometimes the child died immediately or some time after from complications – one girl lived for fifteen or more years like that. Didn’t think they still made pools like this. She’s sixteen, yet looks and sounds like a child possibly from not being nourished normally.
Salma you are an amzing young lady. Im so impressed by your resilience and keeping you dreams and hope alive. Blessings to you 🙏 I pray to my God that you get what you need. Im from NYC and if you are ever here in NY, i would love to meet you and take you on a tour of the city. Here in NY we believe in everyone deserves healthcare it is a right to all residence if they are from the US or not. I wish that all states would offer at least what you need to be able to live a normal life like your friends. Stay strong. Stay just as beautiful as you are.
If this were in Brazil, she would have the SUS (Unified Health System), which is the largest government-run public health care system in the world. She would have received these transplants without having to pay $3 million. Please do some research on SUS, every country should look to Brazil as an example. We have free vaccines and care for everyone here, of course there are many flaws due to corruption and tax evasion, but it still works very well! Research the case of the Brazilian TV host known as Faustão (Fausto Silva) who recently received a heart transplant and is alive thanks to SUS. Long live SUS!
Also the healthcare system having all the means to help people like this yet not allowing it and all of the doctors and surgeons acting like they’re powerless to that system is absolutely despicable. Truly a dystopian nightmare. There is so much money in the world and so much technology that anyone who needs help could easily get it at no expense. I absolutely hate this.
I love you Salma, Your gonna get all the help you need because people care. IF we all come together, we will raise all the funds. P.S. Sorry but Mom will always be Mommy!! She will never stop babying you ever!! Weather she thinks you need her help or not, MOMS NEVER CHANGE!! Your her baby, and that we be that way forever!! Us moms cannot help that!! That bond is unbreakable and irreplaceable!! No mother will ever be able to bear laying there child to rest before they do. It was never intended to be that way. I can see a bright future for you and momma!! You are both doing an amazing job on this obstacle in life and i know God is so proud of you!! Keep fighting beautiful girl!! Also your mom is so so so pretty as well!! I hope you can eventually talk her into to doing some light makeup on her just for fun!! I would love to see!!
It has to be hard when your mom is so protective of you and doesn’t want you doing things other people would do, but we also have to realize her mom was there too. She saw her daughter literally be disemboweled, and she probably felt so helpless. They are both such strong women, they have lived through what is unimaginable for many other people, yet they both do their best to keep living their lives and be happy.
