About Us

Welcome one, welcome all! Our Exchange is a passion project by Jessica and Lindsey - best friends from Canada with an unparalleled enthusiasm for learning, laughing, bulk-sized hummus, and Mexican slang.

With a passion for long-term travel, personal growth, conscious living, authentic connection, and free-style rapping, Our Exchange is our space to document what we’re thinking about, inspired by, working through, and loving on this wild ride we call human existence.*

*also big fans of doling out relationship advice even though we have been single for a combined total of 9 years (time flies when you’re having fun!!)

The goal of our internet space is to form connections and spread love and belonging with a side of laughter and fun. We try our best to create open and honest dialogue with the intent of learning and growing together. Ultimately we hope you can feel understood, giggle a bit, and find some peace and inspiration in our stories.

If you want to reach out, please email us at ourexchangejournal@gmail.com, or find us on Instagram (@jessicaswallow + @lindseymeere).

Thanks so much for taking the time to be here with us, we know how precious that is!
