as far as traveling by yourself- my advice is to not limit yourself. My friend maria traveled all over italy by herself but she didn't have as great a time b/c she was in the hotel by 9 and didn't get to explore as much. Even if you don't want to- go to the bar you saw around the corner and try to chat people up- there are a LOT of irish/english pubs allover europe- they are terribly in fashion there- so you will definately meet people- but strike up conversations- you'd be surprised who you meet.
also- if you are staying in hostels- try to make friends with the people you meet in the common room or in your hall- we met some incredible people on our travels and had a blast. When i was in dublin- it was just me and my best friend- we met two other girls that weres taying in our room- and we met up with them in london a few weeks later- and we still talk to them (i also met people that went to college in my home town) so don't be shy

This is great advice. I'v never been travelling by myself. But you will definitly meet other travellers along the way. Just be friendly, but be yourself. You'll never run out of people to talk to and to hang with.
