Nah, Waldo is just a guy who likes wandering about. It's why his original name in the UK is Wally, to show he's a silly and odd kind of guy. When the books exploded in popularity they made a cartoon that would affect the series in a bit, and Waldo's personality got cemented as the most all-smiles jovial kind of guy around. He just likes going on adventures, and never lets anything get him down (much as his friends can be seen as much more realistic about any given situation).

The closest there is to any villain in Waldo canon is Odlaw, whose motivation is that he wants Waldo's walking stick which is what allows Waldo to travel to all the different lands. He'd use it to commit crimes like steal all the gold in Fort Knox. Waldo, conversely, barely even notices his existence. Despite Waldo's UK name being Wally, Odlaw is Odlaw regardless of region.
