Russian Wikinews attended Russian travel writer Viktor Pinchuk's December 18 presentation at the mountain club in Yalta, Crimea on results of a solo expedition to Latin America and his book Two hundred days in Latin America ((ru))Russian language: ‍Двести дней в Латинской америке. The event was organized by Yalta representatives of the Russian Geographical Society.

Pinchuk described stops in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Cuba, during which he practiced hobo tourism.

The evening dialogue "From Rio Gallegos to Chihuahua" took place in a relaxed atmosphere, where each of those present could ask the lecturer any question on the topic.

Listeners got acquainted with a map of the traveler’s route, saw a selection of photographs depicting ethnic characteristics and attractions of overseas countries, and got an idea of traditional music. From every trip or an expedition, Viktor Pinchuk brings CDs with recordings of ethnic performers; the traveler’s collection has already accumulated a significant number of them (not counting several hundred digital editions of world-famous musicians). The hobby is called “philophony”, and the subject of it is called a philophonist. A collector's society membership card underscores the seriousness of a decades-long interest.
