Honestly, I think one of the most important things to know about exploring areas and soloing is to aim low. If your character is level 30, try level 28 areas instead of level 30 areas. Go for areas that are a bit weaker, so it's easier and safer to explore, until you get the hang of exploring. You'll still get loads of experience, but your chances of dying are a lot lower.
For actually finding areas, use the 'area' command to search for areas by level and continent, then the 'nearby' command to figure out roughly where they are. For example, the 'area 28' command lists areas between level 25 and level 31. Remember that there's a big difference between a level 30 character with 85 total levels, and a level 30 character with a hundred total levels. It's ok to be in lower level areas if you're not ready for the higher level ones.
