You know when a city/town tries to gain publicity, they assigned some celebrity as "Sightseeing Ambassador" (this is not an official ambassador of course).
I jut got the title from Tarragona, Spain!
10 years ago I visited Tarragona and had a great time.
So I contacted its tourism office and told them I'm not a celebrity yet but not a normal tourist either.
I explained about what I've done in my carrier, how I loved the city, and how I wanted to promote by writing articles about the city. And I asked them if I call myself "Sightseeing Ambassador"?
They replied to me in a sincere email and allow me to use the title for writing purpose.
(Of course, they told me I cannot act as "real" or "official"ambassador.)
It's great that a municipality has this kind of "flexible" attitude.
Right now I'm writing a book which includes my foreign experience, so I'm going to make a dedicated section for Tarragona.
Muchas gracias, Tarragona!
Grattis!

No, you should say "Grattis, Ambassador."
