There are many many nice places to see in Europe. You can use endless amount of time to see only small portion of it.
I truly enjoy seeing places which I have previously seen only in magazines or nat geo -channel.
I have now been travelling 2.5 years and I can tell that biggest surprise for me has been truly amazing people everywhere.
As soon as you leave "western" countries behind, people will become so warm, welcoming and helpful that it will blow your mind.
Do not believe everything that comes from news channels, only bad news sell.
After Australia, NZ, USA and Canada I was really looking forward to get outside of western countries.
Mexico is bad, isn´t it? USA border controls told me that my bike will be robbed and I will be killed...

Well, people over here are just amazing. Truly wonderful, warm and helpful people.
As mark mentioned, you can get in to a serious trouble in western countries, so they are not so safe as people think...
Go out, see and be prepared to be amazed
