If he does survive the trip - or, rather, this adventure - he will have experienced a journey that few of us ever will. He carried a weapon (or at least what he believed to be a weapon, which is all that's really required for an experience) on-board a flight to a city on the other side of the planet where he didn't speak a word of the language or knew a single human being. He rested at hostels, tried to get an in with the locals, met and traveled with the military and was under the impression that he would soon enter a hotly-contested war-zone and assassinate a president; in essence commiting a historic act that would make him famous for as long as we have a space stored away somewhere for Wikipedia servers.
It makes me think of all the animals that we once sent into space, such as Enos the chimp, for much like a chimpanzee on a rocket he has seen and experienced things that most of us never ever will, and exactly like a chimp he doesn't have the human reasoning to ever fully understand or be able to explain what has happened.
Amazing.
