His goal was to find an east to west route to India (asia), he was useless at it though, used the wrong maps, was not that robust a person (he frequently got seasick) and made bad decisions regarding his choice of crew.

On August 2, 1492, Columbus set sail in search of the India.
http://wilstar.com/holidays/columbus.htm
The voyage was financed by Ferdinand and Isabella by making the city of Palos pay back a debt to the crown by providing two of the ships, and by getting Italian financial backing for part of the expenses. The crown had to put up very little money from the treasury.
Columbus and 90 crewmen boarded the three ships that were to make the first voyage to the New World, the Ni?a, Pinta, and the flagship, Santa Maria. On October 12, 1492, Columbus first saw the islands of the new world, landing in the Bahamas. Later in the month, he would sail to Cuba, and to Hispaniola (now Haiti). He thought he had reached the East Indies, the islands off Southeast Asia.
Contrary to popular belief, most educated individuals in the 15th century, and especially sailors, already knew that the earth was round. What was not realized by Columbus, however, was just how big a globe it was. Columbus seriously underestimated the size of the planet.
He died at Valladolid, Spain on May 20, 1506, at the age of 55.
