Co-Founder & Content Creator
Better known as Caxinas_17 (Marinheiro), he is a Gamer Streamer & Entertainer from Vila do Conde, Portugal. Currently 32 years old.
He uses the character "Marinheiro" (Sailor) because he's passionate about the place where he grew up — Caxinas, a neighborhood in Vila do Conde. It's a land of fishermen and adventurers, and he decided to start streaming to show that even through social media, you can "sell your fish" (Portuguese expression meaning to promote yourself or your craft).
You'll find a cheerful person always joking around. He does a bit of everything on his stream, but especially plays Call of Duty (Warzone), which is his most played game. For more, check out his Twitch channel (Caxinas_17) ⚓️ 🐦🔥
