About
A quick look at what this blog is, who writes it, and how it's put together.
Hi, I'm Kseniia 👋
I run Rumroom World — practical, researched guides for slow travel and remote work, without sponsored fluff or Instagram bait.
Who this is for
If you're a slow traveler — someone who'd rather spend a month in one neighborhood than tick off six countries in a fortnight — or a digital nomad figuring out where to actually base yourself this season, this blog is for you. It's written especially with women travelers and remote workers in mind.
What this site covers
Practical, honest guides — not destination listicles. The kind of stuff that helps you make the next decision:
- 🛂 Visa logistics — what's actually possible vs. what travel agents oversell
- 🏡 Where to live for 1-6 months — neighborhoods, not just cities
- 💸 Real cost of living — researched numbers, not Reddit estimates from 2018
- 💻 Coworking, wifi, and remote-work realities — including which "digital nomad hubs" are overrated
- 🛵 Getting around — scooters, transfers, when to walk
- 🍜 Where to eat — local picks, not Instagram traps
Right now the deepest coverage is on Bali, with growing guides for France and Italy.
Why "Rumroom"?
The name comes from the idea of "room for thoughts" — a small, quiet space to think clearly. It's the same brand behind a marketing blog at rumroom.space and an older Russian-language version at travel.rumroom.ru.
How this site makes money (honest version)
Some of the links in these guides — for things like travel insurance, eSIMs, scooter rentals, accommodation, and visa services — are affiliate links. That means if you click one and end up booking, this site gets a small commission. It doesn't cost you anything extra.
What this site will never do:
- ✅ Recommend a service without researching it first
- ✅ Take money to write about a place or product
- ✅ Hide the fact that a link is affiliate

A note on AI
AI tools are used here to help with translation (between Russian and English), research scaffolding, and editing. Every guide is fact-checked and reviewed before publishing. If something looks off, get in touch and it'll get corrected.
