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:

  • The Lucozade Challenge – Damien taking on an adventure with his trademark humour and curiosity. Watch it here

  • A few of his standout articles:

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!

Hey guys. A chiropractor I follow online mentioned this in a video about advanced therapies. I was interested in learning what amniotic stem cells actually are, as it sounds very sci-fi. The article https://ways2well.com/blog/amniotic-stem-cells-pros-and-cons-of-this-advanced-regenerative-therapy lays out the origin and uses perfectly. It is crucial to get unbiased info since these therapies are loosely regulated. I am satisfied that it honestly listed both the pros and the cons without trying to sell me on it.

Build a clear resume, learn useful skills, and apply regularly to suitable roles. Stay confident while improving your interview communication and professional profile. Contract jobs hiring now can help you gain experience, earn income, and build stronger career confidence. Keep learning from every application and follow employers politely. Positive habits and patience improve your chances over time.

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.
