His friend groped me, but my boyfriend says it's no big deal

His friends are loud, sexist pigs, but he stands up for them.

    I feel like I know this guy

    You have been with him for one year. If you stay with him for one more year, you will get tired of his weakness. You will have completely outgrown it. Soon, you will look back and wonder how you ever put up with that overgrown baby for so long. Also, if it's not too late to change plans, I'd like to suggest that maybe you'd have a better time on your overseas trip if you went with one of your real friends. Overseas trips do not happen all that often in most people's lives. I used to travel quite a lot when I was younger. Now those days are over, and one thing I kind of regret is spending so much of my energy while traveling focusing on some boyfriend who wasn't worth it.
