Crossing the Border: Why Rule #1 and Rule #2 Are More Connected Than You Think
Rule #1 and Rule #2 are often taught separately.
But experienced travelers know the real leverage shows up in the space between them.
If you understand the rules but still feel stuck when trips get complicated — tight dates, family travel, mixed points, or last-minute changes — this livestream is for you.
In this special session, JGOOT travel expert Katie is breaking down how Rule #1 thinking directly fuels Rule #2 execution — especially when travel requires flexibility, creativity, and a little gymnastics.
This isn’t about breaking the rules.
It’s about understanding how they work together in the real world.
Welcome to Crossing the Border: Why Rule #1 and Rule #2 Are More Connected Than You Think.
Katie will walk through how mindset, flexibility, and strategic decision-making bridge the gap between the two rules — and why people who struggle with Rule #2 are often missing a Rule #1 shift.
Not theory.
Not edge-case unicorn trips.
Just practical clarity for the trips you’re actually trying to take.
Inside this session, you’ll learn:
- Why Rule #1 and Rule #2 aren’t separate strategies — and where they naturally overlap
- The mindset shifts that make Rule #2 travel feel possible instead of overwhelming
- Where people get stuck trying to “follow the rules” too rigidly
- How experienced travelers adapt Rule #1 thinking when dates, destinations, or availability change
- Real examples of travel gymnastics that work because the rules are understood together
This isn’t about choosing one rule over the other.
It’s about learning how they reinforce each other when travel gets real.
If you’ve ever thought, “I understand the rules, but I still don’t see how this works for my trip,” this livestream will help it click.
Show up for this one.
The space between the rules is where confidence lives.
