  • A run down of every single item I will have packed in my pack when I start my SOBO / Southbound Hopscotch / Flip Flop thru hike attempt of the Appalachian Trail THIS MONTH!! Most gear videos leave out the “little things” like toiletries and first aid, but all cover almost every little thing individually in this video.

    Thank you to everyone who has left nice comments and apologies. I appreciate it. I am sure you can imagine how confused I was waking up to this this morning. Thank you to everyone who has explained what happened to me as well, either with a comment here or through email. I originally thought my video or audio was used, but it sounds like it was a voice actor who happened to tell a story of an Appalachian Trail hiker who shares the first name as me (Hopwood is not my surname). I don't think I would be able to take any action against SEAB or Cambridge because, at the most, my videos inspired the story and my likeness was not used. I don't take the mean comments or threats personally and can understand how stressful and difficult exams are. I am sorry this particular voiceover that was similar to my story was difficult. I wish you all the best of luck on your future exams and maybe you'll see a Singapore travel vlog from me in the future!

    Hello Singapore friends. I’m not even very clear on what exactly happened. I’m so sorry a similar experience to mine was used in your LC exam. I can assure you that wasn’t my voice in the voiceover and I had nothing to do with how hard your exam was. I hope you understand that I truly didn’t have anything to do with this. I’d love to visit Singapore at some point in the future so I hope you give me some grace and let me come! This was crazy to wake up to. I’ve deleted some of the mean comments.

    Hi Alicia,
    If you are bewildered by the numerous conmments hating on what you do, please ignore them.
    We just took our ‘O’ Level examinations, which is a national exam taken at Secondary 4/Grade 10. Unfortunately, you were featured in the listening comprehension exam in the section where we had to fill in the blanks. Numerous students found this difficult, and thus are taking out their rage on your channel.
    Please do not take it to heart. I encourage you to keep going in your profession. I apologise on behalf of approximately thirty thousand students of 16 year old students.
    Regards,
    Student from Singapore

    alicia, actually, don’t worry so much about the comments- it was an unfortunate coincidence that your name was used as the hikers persona on our listening comprehension, and the lady that was voicing it didn’t do a very good job.
    for further context- the listening comprehension is one of the factors (paper 3) of one of our major national exams, which we take at the age of sixteen.
    i’m pretty sure that this will all blow over after a while😭 i think this is how us students are trying to vent our anger at the examination board for giving us such a complicated listening comprehension test..

    Hi Alicia, just wanted to let you know incase you are confused about the influx of comments about LC. LC stands for listening comprehension. It is one part of our english examination. In one part of the exam, there was a "Alicia hopwood" that talked about the Appalaician trail. That section was particularly difficult. Hence, why you may be receiving more negative comments or queries about taking the trail from south to north. Thank you for sharing your gear list. I think it was helpful for the hikers. Have a nice day.

    hi alicia
    I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’m so sorry for whatever happened with all the O level students. it’s not your fault that something similar to your story was used for our exam, and those negative comments should never have been made. even if it was just for jokes and sarcasm, and if they didn’t mean what they said, it still doesn’t justify them taking it out on you for something you couldn’t control. in fact, they shouldn’t even be mad at you, but at the voiceover instead. from your perspective of someone who had no idea of what was going on, it must’ve been so confusing to suddenly have your comments section flooded by a bunch of frustrated students. truly am sorry for this unfortunate situation. hope you can forgive us for this misunderstanding, and wish us luck for the remaining exams we have left.
    on the bright side, you seem like a genuinely nice lady with a big heart. your love for nature is admirable and your passion for doing the things you love is definitely something to be proud of. your story is very inspiring and I hope more people get to see just how amazing you are 🩷. hope you get to explore more of the world! you’re more than welcome to visit Singapore if you’d like :) wishing you the safest of travels and the best of luck. xx

Please forgive these sec 4/10th graders from Singapore because a topic of this came out for one of our papers and it was a pure coincidence that your name was used. May you continue to inspire others to attempt their hike on the Appalachian trail through your content

    I don't understand how they couldn't tell that it's fictional and decided to take it out on someone that had nothing to do with this, I'm sure it was an awful coincidence and I'm so sorry you had to endure this.

    Sorry to hear what has happened. For some context, for Singaporean kids in that age range this exam mean the world to them because the education system is very specifically designed to be that way - it is effectively the only viable means of social mobility in the country. It is not dissimilar to the 'GaoKao' in China. After many years and despite talk of educational reform it is not encouraging to hear that the system is still putting students through the grinder. The other context I would mention is that Singapore kids would find camping or hiking a very foreign concept if they had never had an experience overseas or joined scouts or girl guides because Singapore is more or less an urban concrete jungle. In fact, my own personal experience with camping was only when I stumbled across a Kathmandu store Down Under and found lots of interesting gear. I hope that your Appalachian trip has gone well! Unfortunately the tallest hill we have in Singapore is Bukit Timah Hill at only 164m.

    Hey Alicia, I came across the news of what happened to you, and I just want to apologise for the horrible students who sent you those nasty, atrocious comments. I'm not a part of the cohort who took the exam, but I am appalled by what my fellow students have done. Being a student myself, of course I understand the stress of dealing with difficult examinations, but that is in no way a justification for attacking an innocent person online. I think you're so strong and patient for dealing with the hate comments with an empathetic lens, and I respect you so much for that! ❤ But really, you don't have to apologise for anything. You did nothing wrong! Those commenters should be the one apologising to you! And in case they haven't done that yet, let me be the one to apologise because you truly, truly don't deserve any of this ❤. Don't let these immature comments bring you down, keep being you! Please take care of yourself, okay? ❤
