In an exclusive interview with the Sunday World, the award-winning travel show presenter, Hector, reflects on his 20 seasons of traveling and how he hasn’t felt scared since his trip to Mexico City 15 years ago. Despite recent attacks on American and English tourists, Hector emphasizes that both tourists and locals are facing danger. He urges people to be vigilant and stand up against violence, while also staying safe. Hector recalls his experiences traveling to various locations during the filming of his new series, where he encountered tribes and locals who were welcoming and friendly. As he discusses the dangers of certain cities, Hector mentions feeling more at risk on the streets of Dublin at 3am due to increasing violence. He expresses his frustration with the situation and suggests that communities should come together to address the issue. Meanwhile, he draws attention to the city of Singapore as a model of success, with its high standard of living, free services, and incentives for having children. He also raises awareness about the history of colonization and exploitation in Asia, particularly by the British and Dutch. Hector concludes the interview by expressing his love for making travel shows and his appreciation for TG4, the network that took a chance on him in the early years. Despite the limited viewership due to the show being in Irish, Hector is grateful for the opportunity to explore lesser-known locations and delve into the lives of locals. While his name was mentioned as a potential host for the Late Late Show, Hector clarifies that it was mere speculation and that he never received an official offer. Ultimately, he is content with his current role and praises Tommy Tiernan for his brilliance on the Saturday night show. Hector’s new series, “Hector – Ó na Philippines go dtí na Solomons,” will premiere on TG4 this Thursday at 9.30pm.
