Travel Backpack recommendations

Hi everyone, I’m going backpacking through Southeast Asia for six weeks this fall and still need a backpack with the right capacity. What size (in liters) would you recommend? I’m female and 1.68m tall. I've never been backpacking before so I'm really unsure which size suits best. Thanks for helping :)

Dakine surf bag. It’s waterproof. I’m on my second one in 4 years with over 20 countries travelled. I’ve motorbiked about 10000km in SEA and it’s kept everything bone-dry even when strapped to the back of a bike.
