If you only knew how long I've been looking for a helpful non-dodgy site like this to assist me in my travel issues!!!

I'm about to finish my degree this year and am desperate to travel through europe for about six weeks this summer,
but not one of my friends share my adventurous spirit!So
I'm pretty much left with the option of travelling around europe solo and considering I'm a 20 year old female thats never travelled (i.e.backpacked) before,I'm pondering if this is such a good idea?
Also I have no idea where to begin arranging things or even what the hell I should be arranging??I'll be setting off from Ireland in June (being from here and all) but don't know where to go or how to get there!Any chance some kind soul out there will take pity on a travel virgin like myself and gimmie some advice on what the hell I should be doing??Particularly on the travelling first time on your own?
CHEERS!!
