Hello! My name is Jaclyn and I run Backing Wanderlust!

My shop started a long time ago when I made stethoscope name charms. I chose my shop name at the time because I was traveling all around the world every chance I could! My Etsy sales were "backing" my wanderlust. I took a hiatus from that after a while and my shop was dormant.

In 2021 I decided to reopen my shop but this time selling digital prints! I love designing these as I think they are easier for everyone! Digital prints open up a variety of size options that I couldn't offer otherwise. They also allow you to invest as much or little as you want in printing them making them much more affordable for most.

In 2024 I started designing stickers! I love my digital items, but I wanted to be more hands on. This has led to many stickers, bookmarks, and physical prints being added to my shop!

I love having my Etsy shop! I love reading and this shop makes me feel connected to the reading community.

I certainly try my hardest to run my shop with proper licensing from authors. Items that are listed as 'officially licensed' means I have a contract with the author and give them a portion of my profits! As buyers of bookish items I think it's important to be aware of this as buying licensed merchandise is how you are supporting the authors and books you love rather than infringe on their intellectual property.

If you have any requests or ideas, please don't hesitate to message me! Many of my designs have been from requests.

Thank you for supporting my shop!
