The answer

You erred by traveling without a mahram (unmarriageable kin) and accompanying a non-mahram man. You must make sincere repentance. As for the marriage, it is invalid because it was conducted without a wali (guardian) and with the testimony of non-Muslims. It must be annulled. If the man does not grant a divorce, then refer the matter to the Sharia judge.
