He could have just stayed at home, much easier for everyone.

Oh wait, no, then he wouldn't have had an adventure and a interesting story to tell, so interesting other people actually enjoy hearing it.

I don't really get this comment at all, he never claimed to be hard done by.

Visas are bullshit anyway, people should have the RIGHT to free travel wherever they wish, so BS on the ethics bit.

The only ethical issue is around using names (assuming they are real) and photos of people who helped him.

Other than that I suggest you get out and travel. You obviously don't, else you would know what it's like to get into situations that later seem so obviously could have been avoided. But to travel the world and have fun it's part and parcel of the experience.
