× I don't look out the window at the scenery when traveling by bus or car.
✓ I don't look out of the window at the scenery when I travel by bus or by car.
The original sentence has minor preposition and tense/usage issues. Use 'look out of the window' (correct preposition) and maintain simple present 'travel' to match habitual action. Adding 'I' before 'travel' makes the clause complete. Also 'by bus or by car' is clearer parallel structure.
× I used to scrolling through the phone or reading a book.
✓ I used to scroll through my phone or read a book.
After 'used to' the base form of the verb is required (not the -ing form). Change 'scrolling' to 'scroll' and 'reading' to 'read'. Also use 'my phone' for natural phrasing.
× And at the night it becomes dark or sometimes raining.
✓ And at night it becomes dark or it sometimes rains.
Use 'at night' (no definite article). 'Becomes dark' is fine, but 'sometimes raining' is not a finite verb; use 'sometimes rains' to form a correct present-tense clause that matches habitual situations.
× I prefer to put my head and rest a little bit.
✓ I prefer to lay my head down and rest a little bit.
Use a correct verb phrase: 'prefer to lay (or put) my head down and rest' — 'lay' + object or 'put ... down'. 'Put my head and rest' is ungrammatical because 'put my head' needs an adverbial 'down', and 'rest' should be coordinated properly.
× Yes, I love capturing the beautiful landscapes, scenery, then I looking back for those photos and I remember the moments to relive.
✓ Yes, I love capturing beautiful landscapes and scenery; then I look back at those photos and remember the moments to relive them.
Use 'look' (simple present) after 'then' — 'I looking' is incorrect. Use 'look back at' for the correct preposition. 'Remember the moments to relive' is awkward: include 'them' to refer to the moments. Also remove unnecessary comma and make sentence structure clear.
× Definitely, I prefer the mountains.
✓ Definitely, I prefer the mountains.
This sentence is correct in present tense expressing a preference; no change needed.
× I see something mystery over there when I'm looking at the mountains.
✓ I see something mysterious over there when I look at the mountains.
Use the adjective 'mysterious' (not the noun 'mystery') to modify 'something'. Use simple present 'I see' or 'when I look' for habitual action; 'I'm looking' is continuous and less natural here.
× It reminds me also the memories of when I was young and we were going for camping with my friends and all around the area was plenty of mountains.
✓ It also reminds me of memories from when I was young and we went camping with my friends; the area was full of mountains.
Use 'reminds me of' (correct preposition). 'Going for camping' is incorrect; use 'went camping' (simple past) to match 'when I was young'. 'All around the area was plenty of mountains' is ungrammatical; use 'the area was full of mountains'.
× It's.
✓ It is.
'It's.' as a fragment is unclear; if intended as 'It is (true)', expand to a complete clause or remove it. A standalone 'It's.' is a sentence fragment and should be completed or deleted.
