1Cover’s giving away $501 a day every day in July! To be in the draw you simply need to purchase a travel insurance policy in July. What would you do with $501? Well, here are just a few ideas ...

1 Exhilarating Queenstown Experience

Bungee Jumping in Queenstown

Queenstown is the adventure capital of the world, and with good reason. From bungy jumpy to white water rafting, visitors (and locals) are spoilt for choice when it comes to exhilarating activities. Head to the South Island with $501 and you and three mates will be able to take a ride on the famous Shotover Jet Boat. Alternatively, grab your bravest buddy and together take on the Kawarau Bridge Bungy. Are you an adrenaline-junkie? Be sure to check out 1Cover's full list of activities they cover

2 Flight To Australia's East Coast

Melbourne CBD

A flight to Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne can cost as little as a few hundred dollars. Head across the ditch and enjoy an international adventure without the long flight or draining jetlag. 

3 Unforgettable Dining Experience 

Fine Dining

Owned and run by chef Massimo Botturo, Osteria Francescana is a three-Michelin-star restaurant located in Modena in northern Italy. Considered one of the world’s best restaurants, $501 here will get you a truly memorable culinary experience - a 12-course tasting menu that your tastebuds will never forget. You'll even have some change left over to spend on some dessert or a glass of wine.

4 Gondola Serenade in Venice

Gondola In Venice

Ever dreamt of cruising Venice’s Grand Canal while being serenaded? For less than $501 you can, if you don't mind sharing with a few other tourists. Embrace the ultimate in cheesy romance, cuddling up with your better half while gliding through the waters of Venice's famous Grand Canal and it's quieter off-shoots. Afterwards, you'll also be treated to dinner at a local restaurant. That’s amore!

5 Become A Scottish Laird Or A Lady 
Scottish Countryside

For just under $501 you can purchase a 200sqft of land in Lochaber, Scotland through Highland Titles. Yep, that's right. You may not be able to afford property in New Zealand, but the Scottish highlands is another story. It's all a bit of fun, but it does give you the perfect excuse to don the tartan and jet over to the UK to check out your new block.

6  Get Arty In Paris ... Over And Over Again

Louvre and Mona Lisa

Did you know $501 gets you 35 entrance passes into the Louvre in Paris, France? With all those visits, you’re sure to find out the truth about Mona Lisa's smile. Alternatively, visit the museum once and spend the rest on French cheese, croissants, wine, and other local delicacies.

7 Ride The Ships Of Desert At Dusk

Camel Riding On Cable Beach In Broome

Got a spare $501 and looking for a truly Aussie experience? With that kind of cash, you could book in for five sunset camel tours on Cable Beach in Broome, Western Australia. If five camel rides seems a little excessive (sore bum anyone?), you can always settle for the one ride and put the rest on a night at one of the luxury resorts in the area.
