The DSLR adviced in the guide is cool but I don’t think it’s specific enough.
First of all, it's a mirrorless, not a DSLR. Love ya Andy <3 and he's been doing photography longer than me, but he's using loose inaccurate language.
Also, the camera body (the part without the lens) is not designed to be specific. That's the lens's job.
I'd get the EOS R actually... it's a bit bulkier but the batteries last much longer.
An alternative is to get the EOS RP or the EOS R8 and buy + bring an extra battery or two with you at all times.

I won’t really need it to take dating pics because I’ll just get this done with s dating photographer so that’s not a requirement for the camera (although a nice bonus)
DM me I got you
Running out of slots for the rest of the year.

The mainstream advice I’m seeing online is to just use an iPhone as this is enough for most travelers but I’m different and really want to learn.
Not a bad idea with the iPhone 15 Pro... you can add Portrait Mode after the fact now. If you want to learn though, get one of the above cameras.

To sum up my question in looking for
1) The best travel camera
2) All lenses that I’d need (I want to shoot pics of me at cool spots, me doing fast paced activities, scenic landscapes)
3) Which editing software should I buy and learn
4) Recommendations of good tripods because I rather shoot myself than trusting strangers (no pun intended)
1) EOS R, or RP/R8 with 1-2 extra batteries
2) Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 & Canon RF 85mm f/2 & Canon RF 35mm f/1.8, get them all at once, or in that order
3) Lightroom (not Lightroom Classic)
4) Peak Design Travel Tripod by faaaar. LOVE this one... Small, compact, light, but it's also extremely easy to use, feature packed, and reliable. You'll pay for it though... either aluminum or carbon fiber is good... Aluminum is $400 after tax, carbon fiber is about $650.
