Catherine contacted us asking if we could most a missing person’s message. Her brother Nicolas has been out of contact with family and friends for over two weeks while riding from Cusco, Peru to Bolivia on a white Suzuki DR650. If anyone knows anything, please email and I will pass it onto Catherine. We are trying to determine if he was a member of ADVrider.com.
UPDATE 29 August 2019:
Still no trace of Nicolas. And unfortunately, we haven’t been able to 100% confirm any of the sightings. Please seehttps://www.facebook.com/NicInBolivia/for more details
UPDATE 10 August 2019:
终于在黑暗中有些光！尼古拉斯现在被玻利维亚警察积极搜查。他也成为玻利维亚电视和youtube之星 - 不确定他会欣喜若狂。我们（一群精彩的骑自行车的人和玻利维亚各地的人）已经开始接受玻利维亚的目击报告，我们仍在验证。我们的希望绝对是升级！
Special thanks also to the Belgian consulate in La Paz, who have generously assigned a lawyer to accompany me to the police and the immigration office.

My brother Nicolas, who has been biking across South America since April, hasn’t been in touch since June 15 2019. He was inCuscoat the time and about to continue towardsBolivia. I’ve contacted friends and relatives, nobody has heard from him since then. He’s 45 and a very experienced biker.
He is riding a white Suzuki DR650 (reg Y34412) he bought second-hand from somebody in Vancouver August 2018).
My brother speaks Spanish fluently and is likely to have been in contact with locals quite a lot. He is a Luxembourg citizen and usually resides in Krakow, Poland.
