Él estaba aburrido y quería ir a una aventura. Él quería tomar un viaje. I just know that the action hasn't finished yet. But that's how I would say that.

thanks for both of your answers to my questions - YESS11, Oct 27, 2014
¿Porque pones tanto el pronombre EL?. En español se omite casi siempre. Parece una traducción hecha con un traductor automático. ¿quería tomar un viaje? ¿quien dice eso en español?. - txustaboy, Oct 28, 2014

This is how I would say this:
