× Yes, I always look out out of the window whenever I was traveling by bus or by car because that's how I like to spend my traveling time.
✓ Yes, I always look out of the window whenever I am traveling by bus or by car because that's how I like to spend my travel time.
The sentence mixes present habitual 'always' with past tense 'was traveling'. Use present progressive 'am traveling' for current habitual actions. Also remove the repeated 'out' and use 'travel time' instead of 'my traveling time' for conciseness. Suggestion: keep tense consistent with present habitual: 'I always look out of the window whenever I am traveling.'
× Even though sometime I am traveling on the same roads on a daily basis but still I prefer to look outside.
✓ Even though sometimes I travel the same roads daily, I still prefer to look outside.
Use the adverb 'sometimes' (not 'sometime') and avoid tense mismatch: use simple present 'I travel' for habitual actions. The clause uses both 'even though' and 'but' which is redundant; remove 'but'. Also shorten 'on a daily basis' to 'daily' for naturalness.
× So I think it's totally depend when if we are going somewhere at a some special place and it has a very beautiful views outside then I prefer to take photos or sometime I just take a snap and send to my friends.
✓ So I think it totally depends: if we are going to some special place and there are very beautiful views outside, then I prefer to take photos; sometimes I just take a snap and send it to my friends.
Use third person singular 'depends' (not 'depend'). Correct preposition 'going to' and article usage 'some special place' or simply 'some place'. 'A very beautiful views' is incorrect: use 'very beautiful views' or 'a very beautiful view'. 'Sometime' should be 'sometimes'. Also ensure object agreement: 'send it to my friends' (send the photo). Split long run-on sentence with punctuation for clarity.
× Otherwise on a regular basis I don't prefer to.
✓ Otherwise, on a regular basis, I don't prefer to take photos.
The verb is omitted after 'prefer to'; include the action 'take photos' to complete the sentence. Also add commas for readability. Use 'I don't prefer to' is acceptable but more natural is 'I usually don't'.
× Well, I like both the mountains and the sea, but uh, sometime I prefer to go on a mountain because I think there are more activities we can go for a hiking.
✓ Well, I like both the mountains and the sea, but sometimes I prefer to go to the mountains because I think there are more activities, like hiking.
Use 'sometimes' (not 'sometime') and prefer plural 'the mountains' rather than 'a mountain' when speaking generally. Use preposition 'go to the mountains' not 'go on a mountain'. 'Go for a hiking' is incorrect: use 'hiking' or 'go for a hike'. The corrected version uses 'like hiking' to sound natural.
× And although I have a height phobia so. So to conquer my phobia, I always prefer to go on a mountain.
✓ Although I have a fear of heights, I prefer to go to the mountains to try to conquer it.
'Height phobia' is not natural; use 'a fear of heights'. The original has a sentence fragment 'And although I have a height phobia so.' Remove redundant conjunctions 'And' and 'so'. Use 'prefer to go to the mountains' rather than 'go on a mountain'. Combine ideas into one clear sentence and use 'conquer it' to refer back to the fear (consistent pronoun reference).
