Vacation at Home
I really liked to go abroad during my vacations.
If I had a chance, I went to Japan or China once a year.
These days, it isn’t possible because of Covid-19
This time, I just stayed at home during my 3 day vacation last week.
At first, it was very boring since I couldn’t see anything outside.
However, I finally enjoyed spending my time at home.
I read many books and watched videos.
In the end, I changed my mind that a home vacation was also good.
Vacation at Home
I really liked to gotravel abroad during my vacations.
“like” in present tense because you still like it now
If I had a chance, I wentould travel to Japan or China once a year.
“If I had a chance” means that it didn’t happen. You are just imagining it, so you should use “would” instead of “went”
would + action
If I were rich (I am not), I would buy a house.
If I had the choice (I didn’t have the choice in reality), I would eat the apple instead.

HTowards the end of my vacation, however, I finally enjoyed spending my time at home.
Using “finally” sounds to me like you’re actively doing something or trying hard to “finally” enjoy your time at home.
I am not sure how to explain the difference but maybe this website helps! https://www.tolearnenglish.com/exercises/exercise-english-2/exercise-english-112889.php
I read many books and watched videos.
In the end, I changed my mind that a home vacation was also good.
Usually, when I say “I changed my mind that....”, I would continue with my first opinion.
For example, “I changed my mind that he is a nice guy. He is a mean person.”
Or I would use a full stop if I want to state my changed opinion.
“I changed my mind. He is a mean person.”
I didn’t correct your text because I couldn’t find grammar explanation on this.
You can also say:
At first, I thought that home vacation is boring, but I changed my mind.
Feedback
I hope my comments help instead of making it harder for you!
Overall, good grammar and writing! Keep it going :)
