Remortgage to go travelling- possible?

Hi, I am currently unemployed. I am getting fed up with the search for work and I am bored with the UK anyway. I am now considering going travelling for eighteen months or so, which I have done before.

I have no money for this, obviously a bit of a problem, but I own a house outright worth about 150k, which would rent very easily for about £650 pcm, again I have done this before.

Upon my return maybe the job market would be better, if not I would return abroad, to teach English in which I have qualifications, and continue to let the house. But I do fancy a bit of a big trip first.

I don't want to sell the house however.

Are there lenders that would give me a buy to let remortgage for 25k over five years roughly, based on only the rental income outlined above?

Or would it be possible to arrange a secured loan on this property for about 18k, just based on rental income?

Many thanks for any advice.
