× Well, like Kadri, look outside of the window because I love to see the lush greenery and the mountain on my way.
✓ Well, like Kadri, I look out of the window because I love to see the lush greenery and the mountains on my way.
Original sentence misuses 'look outside of the window' and misses subject 'I'. Use 'I look out of the window' for correct subject-verb order and 'out of' or 'out' with 'the window' is the normal prepositional phrase. Also pluralize 'mountain' to 'mountains' to match general reference to scenery.
× And whenever I travel either by bus or car, I always capture that moment with my mobile phone so that I can keep the memory and I can see that memory.
✓ Whenever I travel by bus or car, I always capture the moment with my mobile phone so I can keep and revisit the memory.
Remove redundant 'either' and extra 'that' for concision; use 'capture the moment' (idiomatic) and 'revisit the memory' rather than repeating 'I can see that memory'. Streamline clauses: 'so I can' is sufficient instead of 'so that I can' plus repetition.
× Because in fact, it is one of my hobby to clicking the picture of the view, uh, outside of the car window because I love to do that.
✓ In fact, it is one of my hobbies to click pictures of the view outside the car window because I love doing it.
Use plural 'hobbies' for 'one of my' (article error / singular-plural), correct verb forms: 'to click' (infinitive) not 'to clicking', and 'click pictures' or 'take pictures' is idiomatic. Remove redundant 'because' and 'uh' for clarity.
× I am falling hard over here with that hobby because I love to post the lash greenish and mountain on my Instagram stories as well.
✓ I am really into that hobby because I love to post the lush greenery and mountains on my Instagram stories as well.
'Falling hard over here with that hobby' is nonstandard; use 'am really into that hobby' (present continuous idiomatic). Correct adjectives: 'lush greenery' and plural 'mountains'. 'Lash greenish' is incorrect word choice and spelling.
× Well, I prefer sea to the mountain because I love to do, uh, water activities like I love to do scuba diving and jet skiing.
✓ Well, I prefer the sea to the mountains because I enjoy water activities like scuba diving and jet skiing.
Use definite article 'the' with 'sea' and plural 'mountains' when comparing general categories. Remove redundant 'I love to do' and use 'enjoy' for variety and concision. Also remove filler 'uh'.
× While in mountaining, the activities in the mountain are very harsh, like tracking and.
✓ Mountain activities are more strenuous, such as trekking and hiking.
'Mountaining' is incorrect; use 'mountain activities' or 'in the mountains'. 'Tracking' is wrong word choice; use 'trekking' or 'hiking'. Complete the list and use 'more strenuous' (comparative) rather than 'very harsh' for natural phrase. Ensure sentence is complete.
