If I would like to hear about someone's experience, how do I express it using "looking forward to.."

"I'm looking forward to you telling me about your experience."

or

"I'm looking forward to your telling me ...."

Or is it not possible to use this phrase in this context?

Yes, both are possible. If you say you telling me, then the emphasis is on you and nobody else. If you say your telling me, then the emphasis falls on the telling - that is your account.
