Use of the "just would". The word just used in conjunction with would, creates a double predicate, which is grammatically incorrect.

A semi-colon would make more sense instead of a comma. There are two seperate ideas in your statement.
My father hates traveling; he would just like to stay in the city where he was born.

You're missing a conjunction, but in this case I prefer two sentences.

1. Capital M to start the sentence.
2. Either a period or a semi-colon after traveling.
3. Traveling can be spelled with 2 Ls, but one is not wrong.
4. "Just" is poor form, almost slang. Delete it.
5. "In", not "at".
6. Period after "born".

"at" should be "in"
"just" sounds misplaced
punctuation/capitalization is off
My father hates traveling. He would just like to stay in the city where he was born.
