Does Google penalize you for Guest links or link exchanges?

Hi,

I am building up links for a travel-related blog, so I contacted other travel blogs and asked if they would do a link exchange.

Example:
I post an article (2200 words) with a contextual link to their site; in exchange, they add a link back to my site, either in a new article or in an existing one.

My site has a DA of around 17, and I am networking with other sites with DAs of 20 - 35.

Will Google slap me for this, or is it more accepted? I looked online (on Google) and did not find a good answer, so I posted here.

Thoughts?
