Is it right or natural to say: " I lived in a trim cabin while traveling around the globe." ?
Is it a right way of using "trim" in the sentence above?
Thank you very much for reading my question!

Trim is not the word one would use and I’m not sure about cabin either. Is the thing being used something that can travel with someone? A cabin is a permanent structure.

Cabin can be either larger wooden house in the mountains made of wood usually or it can also be a small cabin in the mountains or hills.
Wood trims are trims ( off cuts)of wood usually used for interior decoration…flooring is most common, door frames , but in mountains it can be all over the interior walls, similar to sauna.
I am not quite sure what you are trying to describe, hope this helps.

Yes, cabin is a room on a ship. It can also be a form of structure on land. Trim means the opposite of fat. Perhaps you meant to say a narrow cabin

A neat cabin would be better, but look at the answers to your other question about a neat or trim yacht. Without more context (if there is any?) a trim cabin could possibly/potentially be correct in a naval boating context. However you small sentence out of context is slightly weird. A neat cabin is what is expected to express being tidy, smart or possibley cool. Neat then being used as a slang-ish word equal to "a cool cabin".
