If you are Horde then the some of your options are to head south to Thousand Needles and then easterly along the road to Shimmering Flats and start those quests
You can do Shimmering Flats as Alliance too - it's pretty safe to get to (on a PvE server, anyway) - you just have to get past the guards at the Great Lift (southern end of the Barrens), and be a bit careful on your way east. All the quests (for Alliance, at least) come from the small enclave right in the middle of the flats.
It's a great area to pick up a couple of easy levels as a Hunter, and it'll give you some quests to start in Stranglethorn Vale too, although you might get sick of the travelling back and forth to complete all the quest chains, since the rewards aren't too special. If you do head to the Flats, don't forget to head through the mountains to the south and pick up the flight path in Gadgetzan.
