Howdy

Howdy is the brainchild of Hunter-based entrepreneur Mia Ryan. In late 2023, Mia, while running a highly-successful horse business and studying full-time at university, saw a gap in the dating market to meet like-minded country singles. At the age of 22, she launched a first-of-its-kind dating and social networking app for rural singles to revolutionise dating in the bush. Unlike other dating apps, female-founded Howdy is made for country people in mind, with an innovative unlimited radius setting allowing farmers, ringers, agronomists, chopper pilots, bush mechanics, flying vets and anyone else who lives in rural or regional Australia to match with a special someone from all corners of the country, from Walkabout Creek to Woollahra, Bondi to Back O’ Bourke to Bunbury.
