Adventure is a theme in fiction where characters leave the comforts of their normal life to visit new places and meet new people, usually resulting in a richer more nuanced perspective of life in the process.

Personal
Some of the earliest media I remember experiencing were adventures, and they left a lasting impression on me. I remember seeing films like Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Dune when I was around five years old. My mother would also read to me bedtime stories which incorporated a lot of adventure, and among the earliest video games I played, I tended to gravitate the most to those with a lot of adventure elements. This didn't change as I got older, and, though I was quite shy as a child, I always romanticized over the idea of going on adventures.
