The noun 'travel' in this context needs the plural form 'travels' or 'traveling' to mean instances of travelling. Using 'travels' is a common collocation to refer to trips; without the plural it sounds unnatural. Suggestion: use 'my travels' or 'when I travel'.
× For example, I love taking landscape photos of mountains in the rural side.
✓ For example, I love taking landscape photos of mountains in the rural countryside.
'Rural side' is not a correct collocation; 'countryside' is the correct singular noun for non-urban areas. Also keep 'mountains' plural since you mean more than one. Suggestion: use 'in the rural countryside' or 'in rural areas'.
× I like the views in rural areas more because you have more variety of things in the nature to take photos of.
✓ I like the views in rural areas more because you have a greater variety of things in nature to take photos of.
'more variety' is acceptable but 'a greater variety' is more natural; 'in the nature' is incorrect—'in nature' (uncountable) is the correct phrase. Suggestion: use 'a greater variety' and 'in nature'.
× For example the hilarious you could take photos of the mountains or farms or flowers of animals, of houses and people living in the rural areas.
✓ For example, you could take photos of mountains, farms, flowers, animals, houses, and people living in rural areas.
The original sentence has misplaced and incorrect word 'the hilarious' and an incorrect list structure with repeated 'of'. The correct sentence removes the erroneous word and lists items in parallel form separated by commas and 'and' before the last item. Suggestion: keep parallel structure and remove unrelated words.
× I prefer views in other countries because they are new to me.
✓ I prefer views in other countries because they are new to me.
This sentence is grammatically correct in tense and needs no change. It is included for completeness.
× For example, I have never lived in an Alpine environment and during my childhood I thought of them as dreamy, so I love.
✓ For example, I have never lived in an Alpine environment and during my childhood I thought of it as dreamy, so I love it.
There are pronoun and sentence completion issues: 'an Alpine environment' is singular, so refer to it as 'it' not 'them'. The clause 'so I love' is incomplete; add 'it' to complete the thought. Suggestion: ensure pronoun agrees in number with its antecedent and complete the sentence.
