However it is common to change tenses in writing because tenses not only convey past or present etc but the also tell us if something is happening now or around now or if something is a habit.
Example: We usually go to the mountains for our holidays but this year we stayed home.
In this sentence the verb has shifted from present (go) to past (stayed).
The sentence "we usually go to the mountains" tells about something that is a habit so a present simple sentence is used.
The sentence "This year we stayed home" talks about something that happened in the past (maybe in the summer holidays) and is now finished.
These sentences each convey different ideas. They are joined by the conjunction 'but'.
