Assume we agree with the goal you're vow aims to fulfill, but isn't it just incredibly impractical, not to mention risky, way to go about getting to your goal?

Explorers and searchers only come to know the level of risk they took after they take it. Until we haven't tried, all interpretations are possible.

From a more global perspective, I feel more risk – for myself, and mostly for the next generations – in coping with and perpetuating the current monetary system. I guess I am in the emigrant's dilemma: emigrating sends us into an uncertain and risky future, but it still remains a better choice than staying where we are.

But beyond these very reasonable explanations, it is a spiritual call that drives me more deeply. No explorer can resist to the call of the sea :-)
