MEET THE globegal

Hey there, fellow adventurers! My name is Radka, the heart and soul behind GlobeGal Journeys.


If you’re here, you’re probably just as obsessed with traveling as I am. So, welcome to my little corner of the internet, where we celebrate the joys (and occasional mishaps) of solo female travel.

A Little About Me

I’m a Prague girl who fell in love with travel and never looked back. After a dreamy year in Switzerland (yes, I lived on cheese and chocolate), I packed up my life and moved to LA with my golden retriever, Steven. Over the past 20 years, I’ve racked up 53 passport stamps, most from solo trips. I’ve gotten lost at 2am with no map, negotiated with border patrol in broken languages, and accidentally booked a “hotel” that turned out to be someone’s backyard shed. Now I use all that experience to help other women travel smarter, safer, and with fewer headaches.

Why Solo Female Travel?

Because why wait for someone else to make your dreams happen? Solo travel is about finding your own path, making your own decisions, and sometimes, discovering that you can navigate a foreign subway system without speaking the language (trust me, it’s possible!). Here at GlobeGal Journeys, I want to inspire you to take that leap, whether it’s a weekend getaway or a round-the-world adventure.

Every journey holds a story. Together, let’s get lost in the adventure.


This is more than just words – it’s a call to embrace the unknown and celebrate the journey, not just the destination. I’m here to share my stories from the road, tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the way, and create a space where solo female travelers can connect and support each other.

What You’ll Find Here
  • Travel Guides & Tips: How to pack light, stay safe, and not lose your mind when plans fall apart.
  • Destination Highlights: Europe, the U.S., and a few places in between – with good food, views, and honest advice on what’s actually worth seeing.
  • Real Stories: The travel wins, the epic fails, and all the “what now?” moments. I share them all so you don’t have to learn things the hard way.
  • Adrenaline Adventures: As an adventure junkie, I share my experiences with bungee jumping, paragliding, and kayaking.
  • Dog-Friendly Travel: Tips on traveling with your pet because adventures are always better with a loyal partner in crime. Ever tried hiking with a squirrel-chasing dog? It’s an adventure itself!

Join the Journey.


Whether you’re traveling solo by choice, by accident, or just testing the waters, this space is for you. I know solo travel can be amazing and overwhelming – sometimes all in the same day. I’m here to make it a little less stressful and a lot more doable.

Through this blog, I want to create a supportive and inspiring community where solo female travelers can connect and feel seen. Together, we can share tips, swap stories, and build each other up.

My mission? To be the travel friend who keeps it real, shares what actually works, and reminds you that you’re never really on your own out there. Whether it’s your first solo trip or your twentieth, we’re in this together.
