Meet the Maverick Storyteller: Damien Gabet Joins Armchair!
- Feb 19
- 2 min read
If curiosity had a rucksack, a wildly entertaining vocabulary, and a tendency to notice things most of us walk straight past, it would probably look a lot like Damien Gabet.
A travel writer, broadcaster, and professional wanderer, Damien has made a career out of turning journeys into stories that linger long after you’ve read them. He’s written for The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph, Adventure.com, and a whole host of other publications, always with that signature mix of tongue-in-cheek intelligence, playful curiosity, and an eye for the wonderfully odd.
But Damien isn’t just about where he goes — it’s how he goes there, and what he notices along the way. Whether he’s tracing a centuries-old pilgrimage, uncovering a hidden corner of a city, or following threads of curiosity simply because they caught his attention, Damien’s storytelling feels unpredictable, funny, and always human.
This year at the Armchair Adventure Festival, we’re thrilled to welcome Damien to the stage, where he’ll bring unpredictable wisdom, laughter, and the kind of stories that remind us why we love to explore, ask questions, and pay attention to the world around us.
If You Can’t Get Enough of Damien…
For anyone wanting a taste of Damien in action, here are a few treats:

A few of his standout articles:
Budget weekend in Oslo made us wish more cities were like Norway – Damien explores Oslo with his usual mix of wit, sharp observation, and delight in the quirky, proving that a city break can be both affordable and unforgettable.
A muddy ride into Romania’s dreamy countryside – From rolling hills to hidden villages, Damien’s cycling adventure captures the unexpected joys (and challenges!) of exploring Romania off the beaten track.
If you like your adventures with a twist of wit and a generous sprinkling of curiosity, Damien Gabet is exactly who you want to be following — and we can’t wait to see him on the Armchair stage!

Been looking into Jeton as a payment layer, and the appeal is fairly practical, transfers go through in seconds according to reports from the Gambling Commission back in 2023, and you don't hand over card or bank data directly to the operator, which reduces one obvious attack surface. A calmer overview with references to eCOGRA and IAGR notes can be cross checked at www.jetoncashcasino.no if someone wants to compare the technical claims. From what I saw, the flow is standard for an e-wallet, verification, top up, then use. Nothing groundbreaking, just fewer intermediaries than a direct card transaction. Worth reading the actual terms, checking fees on conversions and staying rational about any financial tool rather than trusting summaries at face value.
his storytelling approach really fits the Armchair Adventure spirit of exploring the world through immersive narratives. A “blur remover free” style visual touch would also help make the accompanying images even more striking and engaging for readers.
Spent some time researching Ethereum as a payment option for online platforms in Austria. The technical side is actually more interesting than I expected. Smart contracts execute automatically once conditions are met, removing manual review steps that typically slow things down. If you want a broader overview of available options, take a look here before drawing any conclusions.
The blockchain aspect means every transaction stays permanently recorded and unalterable. That transparency is genuinely useful for anyone who wants to verify activity independently rather than trusting a third party. ETH operates on a decentralized network, so no single entity controls the infrastructure.
Processing tends to be faster compared to traditional methods, though network fees vary depending on traffic. Worth factoring that into…
Hace unos meses estuve revisando varias plataformas de juego que operan fuera del marco regulatorio español. No busqué recomendaciones de nadie, simplemente comparé condiciones técnicas, tiempos de respuesta y coherencia en las reglas publicadas.
Lo que noté es que la mayoría de estas plataformas tienen una estructura similar, con licencias emitidas por jurisdicciones externas como Malta, Curazao o Gibraltar. Eso no significa automáticamente que sean fraudulentas, pero sí implica que el usuario asume más responsabilidad legal y operativa.
Para quien quiera contrastar datos antes de sacar conclusiones, existe esta recopilación bastante detallada: http://www.leadership.ng/gambling/es/casinos-sin-licencia/ casino online sin licencia, donde se analizan varias plataformas activas en 2026 con criterios técnicos concretos.
Mi impresión general es que el sector existe, funciona con cierta lógica…
