Looking for adventure!

I love watching adventure movies and reading adventure books. Some of my favourite movies are Indiana Jones and The Mummy trilogy. My favourite books are Heroes of Olympus and the Percy Jackson series.

I would like to be stranded on an island with sandy beaches and shady coconut trees, just like Robinson Crusoe. Exploring the island, fishing for my breakfast and sleeping under the stars sounds better than doing exams and going to school. (I hope that my teachers are not reading this!)

I would also like to join superhero teams like those in sci-fi movies such as The Avengers and G.I. Joe because I feel that it is exciting to travel around the world, fighting bad people, provided I reach home in one piece.
Those are the adventures that I would like to have. They may not come true, but there is no harm in dreaming.
