Use て form to talk about two or more activities you like?


If I want to list two or more activities I like to do in one sentence, do the
verbs preceding the last one that comes before のが have to be in て form, as in
this sentence:

> 旅行をして、映画を見るのが好きです。
>
> I like to travel and watch movies.

Or should the verbs be in dictionary form?

I am not sure whether the sentence above should be similar to listing two or
more actions in a sequence, as in this sentence:

> 旅行をして、映画を見ました。
>
> I traveled and then watched a movie.




If you are listing multiple actions in a set (eg. of things you like) then you
would use verb+たり〜verb+たりするのが好き.

> 旅行したり、映画を見たりするのが好きです。  
>  I like to do things like watching movies and travelling.

Your initial sentence reads like the two actions are connected. As you like to
first travel somewhere and then watch a movie there.
