What does "god redundancy" mean in the sentence?
And was her travel "cost" paid by someone commercially??

it means she was made unemployed and received money from her employers for the loss of her job and earnings.
it was this (lump sum) payment of money that paid for her to travel.

It may mean that she has got a redundancy payment, that is, at some point she lost her job because she was no longer needed in the company (she was made redundant) and the company had to pay her for that (redundancy payment - money that a company pays to workers who have lost their jobs because they are no longer needed).

Hi Sanghyuck
Redundant/ redundancy usually means that she's got fired from the company.
If I am understanding this correctly, your friend is travelling the world because she's got fired. (Which if that's the case, you should not be jealous of her). And since she has been made redundant, her travel costs would be borne by herself.
