Normally, if you tell someone about something you are going to do, it would be expected that this person could comment on your plans in some way, although that comment might only be to express approval or possibly disapproval. People like to be helpful. If someone thinks that they have some relevant information or good idea that could help you to do this thing more successfully, or perhaps they know of some reason why this would not be a good thing for you to do, then it would seem to be worth mentioning. If you are determined to receive no advice or help, nothing obligates you to make small talk about your intentions. Don't tell anyone what you are planning, and just do it. Possibly you may want to mention it after it is done. I can tell you that in my own case, there are significant events in my life that I have never mentioned to anybody, either before or after the fact. Nothing requires you to share every aspect of your life.
