I think your model is too 'casual' for the concepts implied by your title. He just doesn't give me any indication that he's getting ready to go anywhere.
Put a child in his place, and I could see some deep metaphysical meanings. Alternatively, a runner getting ready to set off, someone in graduation cap and gown, someone with a backpack - all of these suggest journeys that would fit the title.

It seems to me that in an image like this, the figure should be almost incidental, just a pivot for the idea on someone looking down the road.
Thus the figure shouldn't attract attention they way it does.
His casual dress and colorful hat all distract from the attempted message, as does the stick disappearing behind his leg.
