I don't want to live on this planet anymore

I don't like the direction where mankind is going. We spend more resources to build tools which allow us to watch cat videos than on curing cancer. One day I decided to say enough, and leave this grim place.

The plan is to gather around 500 people who want to leave the planet with me, then help me to gather money, build a ship and leave. Now we don't have a goal, so our ship will be flying though space for centuries, until we find some nice suitable and friendly planet to settle down. Sounds simple, so what could possibly go wrong?

My spaceship needs to be big. It has to provide living space for my crew. I know, if you put too many people in too small a space, it creates conflict, and we don't want this in our ship. Another thing, the ship has to provide food and water for them, so we need additional space for growing plants, and probably some large storage areas for all spare parts. There are small chances we will be able to restock after we leave Earth.

Is my plan feasible? Do we have currently have tech to build that kind of ship? What will be estimated time/costs to build it? Where are the drawbacks of my plan?
