willing to help
I would be more than glad to help in anyway possible. I'm a Bolivian ADV rider living in the USA, fluent in Spanish.
Most Hostels have landlines and will not accept any txt, however I'll try, at home we have a pretty inexpensive landline calling rate I can use. Likewise If you have WhatsApp numbers I'll call those numbers too.
To be efficient and effective we need to organize a calling record keeping system so we do not duplicate the effort and get through the calls faster...
Im willing to send my cell phone # to someone, please send me a PM.
I stand-by, plz let me know.

Tuesday morning update for the HUBB
Hi all,
I found a bit of time to write a short update about the search for Nicolas in Bolivia.
We could get a lot of media attention in Bolivia, Catherine (Nicolas sister) did a lot of TV interviews and many people shared the story on FB and Whatsapp.
So, of course, with a bike that common as the Suzuki DR650. We had a lot of sightings being reported. Catherine followed the most promising leads on the ground in La Paz, Tarija, Cobija and Riberalta. Yesterday we even check out a hospital, because somebody reported a Suzuki DR650 had crashed.
The Bolivian police is also searching for Nicolas, as data from Migration showed that he entered but not left Bolivia.
A group of very well connected Bolivian and foreign bikers are helping her in a Whatsapp group. But so far we could not find Nicolas, even most of the bikers all over Bolivia know the story and are looking for him.
Today Catherine told us, that she wants to hire a private rescue company from Israel and pay for this via crowdfunding.
More later.

From what has been posted about contact with the Bolivian authorities, it appears that he has entered Bolivia, but has not left, so it appears that focusing on Bolivia makes the most sense.
