I didn't look at it as a guy running away from his problems , i looked at it as a guy making a drastic change in his life to get away from what society expects you to do. The Motorcycle Diaries is a movie that I think you wanted this one to be. In that movie, they set out for an adventure, but had a good purpose. In this movie, the purpose was to live life not knowing what will happen tomorrow. I think he looked at where his life was going and knowing that he was going to live in a cubicle for the next 30-40 years and it scared him.
Yeah you might say he was selfish or had problems fitting in. If things had gone differently in some parts of his life, he probably wouldn't have taken it that far or felt the need to get away and live a non-materialistic carefree life.
But, they had to tell the story of what happened, I wish he would have stayed a little more mobile and not to have it end they way it did. And the movie isn't for everyone, but I know I could have done that 5 years ago.
