Ok so, just a heads up from an experienced user—the Sony ZV-1 is actually a fixed-lens camera, so you cant technicaly swap the glass out like the Alpha series. Honestly, for travel, the built-in 24-70mm is realy your best bet for reliability. I mean, you dont want to be messing with bulky setups anyway. If you feel like you need more width for vlogging, most of the community suggests getting the Ulanzi WL-1 Wide Angle Lens attachment. It's a much safer way to get a wider FOV without straining the zoom motor. Keep it simple, it's way more reliable that way.
Yep, this is the way
^ This. Also, honestly it drives me crazy how gear talk always turn into a spending contest! Seeing people suggest two-thousand dollar lenses for a camera that literally doesnt even have a lens mount is just ridiculous and it makes the whole hobby feel so gatekeepy. Its such a scam how companies and forums push us to buy more and more stuff we dont need.
Yep been there done that. Can confirm everything said above is spot on.
