I've just left the company I worked for 5 years.
My last day of the company is officially as of April 30th, but I am already on the holidays.
If there wadn't the virus pandemic, I would have gone for a trip right now...
Instead of travelling around, I'm staying at home reading books, watching TV and videos... I'm getting bored...
Now I'm so much looking forward to starting a new job from May!

"On holiday" is "on vacation" in American English.
If there wadsn't the virus pandemic, I would have gone foron a trip right now...
I should mention that, while this is technically correct, there are other ways to say it that sound more natural. Here's how I would say it: "If it weren't for the pandemic, I would be on a trip right now..."

Well done! Seems like you need to study prepositions, but your meaning was clear.
Leaving the Company
I've just left the company where I worked for 5 years.

"Virus" as adjective = "viral."
"If" clauses should either be in the imperfect ("if there weren't"), the present ("if there wasn't"), or the past perfect ("if there hadn't been"). This is also affected by the tense that you want to use for the independent clause and by the connotation: https://www.ef.edu/english-resources/english-grammar/conditional/
Instead of travelling around, I'm staying at home reading books, and watching TV and videos...
Since you used ellipsis, what you had wasn't strictly wrong, but when you only have two items on the list, it sounds more natural this way.
I'm getting bored...
Now I'm so muchreally looking forward to starting a new job fromin May!
"So much" sounds awkward here to me. If you wanted to use it though, you should put it after "looking forward": the order is "verb + so much," not "so much + verb."
Here, you're discussing a specific point in time, because you're "starting" something, so you would use "in." "From" only works when you're discussing an extended period, and you'd want to complete the phrase with something to indicate the ending, like "from now on" or "from May onwards."
