Check out Skyscanner and when choosing a destination select “anywhere” and it gives you the cheapest flights from your chosen airport. You can get to about a dozen different countries in Europe for 40 quid return.
Sure thing, when I went travelling around India I took about £1000 which lasted me two months. Flights were about £400.
