Kind of a loaded question... point and shoots are typically cameras that depreciate the fastest. A DSLR or a mirrorless is going to be the camera that you can grow with. As a professional I still suggest something that gives you the capability to take you outside your comfort zone with a semi professional DSLR or mirrorless. You can always upgrade to better lenses and keep the same body instead of just wasting money and buying a new camera.
For travel a mirrorless is more compact and lightweight, but a DSLr tends to have better lens options (because it's been out longer)
personally i would suggest first fujifilm mirrorless (best color profiles that emulate a classic film look) , then the Sony A6000 (Best all around mirrorless) and then canon's M series (good ergonomics and great color.)

hopefully that helps.

KanoaSide note: $400 is not the best range for buying anything besides point and shoots these days... you're better off just sticking to whatever new smartphone camera you have (I mean the iPhone can shoot 4k). In ideal lighting conditions it's the smartphones that are actually as good if not superior to most basic point and shoots.

I did look and saw a sony A5000 and I believe it has interchangeable lenses (best opportunity to upgrade via lenses). small And compact, has a selfie mode and i would look into a starter interchangeable mirrorless if you can.
