Laura Norkienė

I’m Laura, the founder of Sojournelle, a Lithuanian luxury travel advisor based in Vilnius.

Sojournelle was born from a feeling — a deep, instinctive connection to places that have a certain atmosphere. I’ve always been drawn to hotels that feel alive in a quiet, effortless way: where the energy is calm, the surroundings are beautiful, and the people are genuinely kind. For me, it has never been only about luxury, but about how a place makes you feel.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing many of the world’s most exceptional hotels, each shaping my understanding of what truly defines a memorable stay. Along the way, I’ve attended leading luxury travel events such as Pure Marrakech and ILTM Cannes, building close relationships within the industry and staying connected to the people behind these remarkable places.

Sojournelle is a reflection of this journey: a carefully curated collection of hotels I genuinely believe in, where atmosphere, service, and soul come together. It is created for those who seek something more personal, more intuitive, and quietly exceptional.
