We are all searching for something. Some of us give it up, some of us put our search on back burner, rest actively pursue our dream. People who pursue their dreams do it in two ways: safe or reckless. This guy was just reckless and he didn't know what he was looking for. I think that if he walked a globe around and not once get hurt, lost or put in danger he wouldn't be satisfied because it wouldn't be an adventure... On the other hand if he walked from NJ to NY and got hit by a truck, mauled by a bear and robbed than it would be a big accomplishment. I think he is what my psych professor referred to as narcissistic romantic... Craving for adventure that involves him as a main actor on the center stage, searching for something with dramatic accents such as pointless suffering by being unprepared. And I do understand him...
