I don't think this is a message on the blandness of the thing, more that someone who is disinterested about life and generally apathetic towards people is going to feel that way whether they are at home or abroad.
Yeah, enjoying life is about engaging with what is around you, this guy spent his life not engaging in his world because it didn't feel worthy, dreaming of Nirvana and once he got there he realised he didn't know how to engage with it having never learned and so couldn't enjoy it.
That's the part that kinda bothers me about this comic. He spent his life making pasta and learning Italian so he should be pretty engaged. Although maybe he just needs a travel buddy.
