Generally ' towards ' is used when we are moving to any directions like up, down, or east, west. And ' left ' is used when we are shifting to some place like country or station or college.

Hi Anonymous,
Why don't you register?
With "toward" (or towards - I think the latter is BrE, but I know the first is American), you have a sense of motion. You can walk, run, rush, sail, skip, roll, or even move toward something.
But with "left," the motion is not what is emphasized, but the act of leaving, departing, setting out, etc. With those words, use "for."

Hi Grammar Geek,
I have understood the above content you described.
I'm studying English, but I'm not good at it yet.
So I have one more question.
is the following sentence correct?
# I flied toward Hawaii.
By the way, I'll register with this website under "chaifuso" one of these days.
