The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the sun. At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun.
Mid summer in the northern hemisphere. Max at around June 23rd.
North is the direction toward the North Pole or geographic North.

North of course! There is no other way to travel.

There is only one axis and it is always tilted. The part of the axis we call the 'north' pole is tilted toward the sun in the northern summer, and the 'south' pole is tilted toward the sun during the southern summer. That said, the earth itself is a little closer to the sun during the southern summer/northern winter.
When it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere it's summer in the northern hemisphere. Therefore the North geographic pole is tilted towards the sun and the South geographic pole is tilted away from the sun.
In June, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. So I'd assume that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun at that time, and that would probably occur because the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during June. In fact, the Summer Solstice is in the middle of June somewhere.

the north pole is tilted toward the sun.
That is the summer solstice. (sole-stuss)
At its full extent, the South Pole is tilted about 23.5 degrees toward or away from the Sun.
It is summer because that part of the earth is tilted towards the sun and it gets more heat.
Mid summer in the northern hemisphere. Max at around June 23rd.
Summer in the southern hemisphere -- when the South Pole is tilted toward the the Sun, it's winter in the northern hemisphere -- including the state of Florida.
