Hey Mate,

I'm also from the UK and similar age and currently really into solo travel especially with just small breaks to Europe, sorry to hear about the experience with racism, that's so shit and don't let it put you off from wanting to get out and travel! If it's Europe weekend getaways, I would say somewhere like Sweden and Denmark might be a good start! Places like Stockholm were a lot of fun for me to visit for a weekend and I felt it to be a really safe place, something about Scandinavia has a huge vibe different from England! Let me know what you think and also just having a quick browse of your reddit, don't forget to save some time off in August for the big travel event, going back to old Azeroth ;)
