I have done a lot of backpacking and I think Mountain Equipment Co-op has some good ones (don't know if you have that where you are from) and Northface is good too. You want something big enough to fit what you will need on your trip but as light weight as you can get. You may need to try on a few because you want it so be something that you can take on and off easily. Make sure it has straps around the hips and the chest so that you can distribute the weight. I like ones that have a small detachable back pack on them so you can ditch your big one in the hostel or a locker and just take something small without it taking up precious space in you pack. I also like one where you can zip up the back straps and just carry it like a duffle bag. That is better for air travel. They hate straps. Personally I like to have a few compartments because it gives you a place to put some smaller important items. Water proof is good too.
Have fun!!
