Is there anything like this but well written? Like a bohemian adventure story, but with quality prose.

What do you consider to be quality prose? Anyway check out Melville's "Typee" or Thoreau's travel essays. If you like translations you could read Hamsun's Wanderer books. Really though Kerouac's books pretty much exemplify the milieu you are describing, flawed prose or not.
I just finished reading "Satori in Japan" by Kerouac and I can't help but wonder if he was experimenting with his style or if he just doesn't give a shit about composition. I enjoyed it but I think it's closer to poetry than prose.
Check out William Burroughs if you haven't already, OP, but you probably have since you seem like an edgelord.

I think he really didnt give a fuck and that was his point; he wanted to catch his thoughts in their immediacy or even infancy, he was a man of action and I bet he admired Hemingway quite a bit.
