I have traveled a lot internationally and the advice you are getting is good.
Wherever you go travel like the locals do: us busses and subway. Don't rent a car, very expensive and your age will impact your rates.
Don't eat out at restaurants. Buy quick things from grocery stores: yogurt, fruit, rolls or bread, cheese, meats, pb and j, and use each day as an adventure.
Plan your trip now for a year from now. Watch airfare, heck track it on a spreadsheet so you know the ebbs and flows of where you want to go. Read travel websites to learn where you are going: Rick steves has tons of info and has an area for travelers to post questions and responses.
If visiting family, stay with them. Buy a train ticket, pack light and go!
I've stayed at hostels in many countries and never had a problem as long as I thought smart. Don't travel with valuables, lock your back pack closed and to something, many provide breakfast, many also provide simple dinners and for only 25-30 a night. Go and enjoy but do it smartly, research, watch dares, read about where you are going and go!
