Please tell me about your interests. Do you have any hobbies?

I'm interested in traveling to different places. It's exciting because I always get to see and learn something new. The most noticeable difference is the climate and the local way of life.

For example, when I first traveled to Okinawa, far to the south of mainland Japan, I was surprised by the warm weather. When I left home, I needed warm clothes because it was winter and very cold. When I arrived there, however, the weather was mild and comfortable. People there seemed very easy-going. The warm climate and beautiful natural surroundings may contribute to their relaxed and open-minded attitude.

1. You are referring to more than one difference and so should use the plural "differences".
2. The third-person singular "is" has been changed to the third-person plural "are" to match the plural subject "THe most noticeable differences".
That sounds amazing! Traveling really gives you a chance to notice differences in climate, culture, and lifestyle. Okinawa sounds like a beautiful place, and it’s interesting how the warm weather and surroundings can influence people’s way of life. Which place you’ve visited has surprised you the most, and why?

I traveled to many places, including several foreign countries. However, no other place surprised me as much as Arizona, USA. I visited the world-famous Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, and a two-kilometer-wide meteor crater. All of them were gigantic, and no other place in the world has ever left such a strong impression on me. Those places made me feel as if I were walking on Mars. The extreme heat there was also a big shock. The temperature was over 110 degrees Fahrenheit, or 40 degrees Celsius, which I had never experienced before. It was dangerously hot.

1. The past simple "traveled" has been changed to the present perfect "have traveled". The present perfect tense is used to descibe an action in the past that continues to have relevance in the present, which is what we have here.
2. Alternative expression: although your original wording is fine here, you could instead, more concisely, say, "It was if I were walking on Mars".
That sounds amazing! Arizona’s natural wonders are really impressive, and it must have been unforgettable to see such gigantic landscapes. The extreme heat makes it even more memorable. What surprised you the most about the local people or culture in Arizona?

The people in Arizona were just as wonderful as the nature there. People are easy-going, relaxed, and very friendly.

1. "People" has been changed to "They" to avoid unnecessary repetition. This enhances flow.
2. The present simple "are" has been changed to the past simple "were" for consistency of tense usage.
