Jirí Rohel
Guide Since: 2011
Jirí Rohel, from the Czech Republic, has been a guide for WT since 2011. He holds a master’s degree in English and music and studied clarinet at a conservatory. Jirí loves mountain life and spent a month trekking in Nepal’s Annapurna range. He has also climbed to the summits of Mont Blanc in France, Mt. Elbrus in Russia, the Matterhorn in Switzerland, and the highest peaks in the Austrian Alps. Having grown up in the Czech Republic, Jirí can share his experience of living in Communist Czechoslovakia and the transition to life in today's modern Czech Republic. When not leading trips, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing music with his dulcimer band, taking photographs, and being outside in nature, whether hiking, climbing, trekking, cycling, or skiing.

Jirí's language lessons were fun and helpful, especially after the trip in Prague. His willingness to share his experience growing up in a communist Czechoslovakia and the transition to life in today's Czech Republic added another dimension to our trip. His musical talents were also a wonderful addition to our group's experience.
