I'm referring to this sentence:
Is it "I'm looking for new experiences."
Or "I'm looking foward to new experiences."
?

Both are correct, but they have different meanings. The first one means that you are searching for new things to experience. The second one means that you are excited about experiencing new things.

I think both are grammatically correct. However, the wording itself kind of gives each sentence a different meaning. The first sentences is more like "I'm traveling in search of new experiences." whilst the second sentence is stating that you're looking forward to the experiences happening in the near future.

The are both correct, the seconds means you know that new experiences will follow and you just can't wait. The first one means you don't know if any new experiences are coming your way, but you would like to come across some new ones.

Both are possible but both have different meanings.
"I'm looking for new experiences."
means you are just looking for experience which is pretty straight to the point while,
"I'm looking foward to new experiences."
adds character to it because it shows that you are eager and ready for any new experiences that will be thrown to you.

These two sentences do not say the same thing. The first sentence suggests that you are in search for new experiences. It does not guarantee that you are looking forward to having them.
The second sentence firmly states your eagerness to experience new things.
Both sentences are not equal. If you want to experience new things and look forward to it, pick the second sentence. That's my vote.

Tiny, these two sentences have nothing to do with your question. The phrases "to look for" and "to look forward to" each have different meanings. "To look for" means you're searching for something. "To look forward to" means that you expect or hope for something to happen in the future.
To add, both sentences are grammatically correct. It just depends on which situation you use them for.

They are both correct, but different meanings, the second one is stronger and eager
