2. I hope to travel the world someday.
3. She decided to pursue her dreams and become an actress.
4. He wants to learn how to play the guitar.
5. To eat a balanced diet is important for maintaining good health.

Usage:

Infinitive sentences are commonly used to express intentions, purposes, desires, obligations, or actions that may or may not be realized. They can function as the subject, object, or complement of a sentence. Infinitive phrases can also be used as adjectives or adverbs within a sentence.
