About

Ivy Dastur

Founder of Odyssey House, and an independent affiliate advisor with Archer Luxury Travel.

Travel has been part of Ivy's life since childhood — early trips with her mother and grandmother sparked a curiosity that never faded. What began as a personal love of exploring the world has grown into a career built around helping others experience it too.

Ivy has been advising clients since 2019, after being introduced to the travel industry by a fellow agent. She lives in Virginia with her husband and two children, and brings a genuinely personal touch to every itinerary she builds — informed by her own family's travels through the UK, Spain, Italy, the Caribbean, and beyond.

Family travel is a particular focus. Ivy enjoys showing clients — especially those traveling with children — that a well-designed trip can be a meaningful way to build lasting memories together, not just a checklist of destinations. Her own daughter had already visited multiple countries and been on several cruises before the age of five, and that hands-on experience shapes the advice she gives.

Ivy has traveled extensively across the continental United States, Europe, Asia, Mexico, and the Caribbean, and draws on relationships built over years in the industry to arrange access and experiences clients can't easily book on their own.
