    This translation is very contex-dependant, there is no generic "looking foward to it" in Spanish that can be used as freely as in English. It's always going to depend on what you're looking forward to.

    The English language has an amazing ability to be generic, Spanish doesn't behave the same way, it's very specific. What I would do in your place is to write the entire sentence you want to use it in, then we'll know what contex you're using this in.

    Default Looking forward to...

    There are different ways of saying this as already brought out. Here are a few suggestions:

    1. tener muchas ganas de...
    2. estar deseando que...
    3. esperar con ansia...

    Hope this helps.

    If it´s in a formal letter for example " looking forwad to hearing.., etc" you can say: Quedo a la espera de tus noticias"... If it´s in an informal context, you could simply use " tengo muchas ganas de.." or " Espero (with or without que)..."..
